depends on if the land is level between the cabin and the cliff.

Use tangent = opp side/adjacent. Then tan A = 100/125 = 4/5. So the answer is the inverse tan of .8, or 38.65 degrees (.67 radians).

TanD=100/125
Therefore D=38.66 degrees

angle = atan(100/125)

TanA = 125/100
TanA = (5/4)
A = about 51.34°
It really helps if you draw it out.

No depression. I took my Prozac today.

can you assume the vectors form a right triangle? if so you can use SOH-CAH-TOA
