Hi all, I had to take a math and science test yesterday as part of a pre interview process.

There were several question that I had to use a scientific guess on. One that sticks in my mind is as follows:

You are 300 ft above sea level on a cliff. You see a boat at a angle of 15.9 degrees depression. How far away is the boat?

Is this a sin cos or tan function?

The other stickler was no calculator allowed all long hand. Help please, Some one please explain this to me, It has been a lot of years since I left the classroom.
