PLZ ANSWER !!!!!!
An eagle is flying at an altitude of 280 feet. The angle of depression from the eagle to a mouse on the ground is 15º. What is the direct line distance from the eagle to the mouse? Round answer to the nearest thousandth.

You can draw the eagle and mouse by using a right triangle. You know that the height of the triangle will be 280 feet and the distance between eagle and mouse should be the hypotenuse. Since we know the angle and one side of the triangle, we can use trignometry (cosine(angle)=adjacent/hypotenuse). Plug in your values and solve for the hypotenuse.
