Please find attached to this answer, a hand drawn diagram

Answer:

12.84°

Explanation:

To calculate Angle of Depression, we calculate using Trigonometric function or ratio. The Trigonometric function or ratio to be used based on the diagram is  Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

θ = Angle of Depression

Opposite side = Height  = 200 feet

Adjacent side = Distance of the flying bird to the observer = 900 feet

sin θ = 200feet/ 900 feet

θ = sin-¹ (2/9) or arcsin(2/9)

θ = 12.839588407°

Approximately = 12.84°

Therefore, Angle of Depression = 12.84°

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)

In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.

Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:

List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified

Answer:

Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.

Explanation:

The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.

There is no rhyme scheme although  there is a continuous use of assonance
