A drone camera measures an angle of depression θ\theta from the horizontal to a target on level ground. The drone is 120 m above the ground, and the horizontal distance from the point directly below the drone to the target is 160 m. The model is tan⁡(θ)=120160.\tan(\theta)=\frac{120}{160}. Which angle solves the model within the given interval 0∘<θ<90∘0^\circ<\theta<90^\circ?
