30PRACTICE PROBLEM
A photographer wants to capture the entire height of a waterfall from a single point on the ground for a panoramic shot. The base of the waterfall is above the camera's level, and the top of the waterfall is above the camera's level. How far from the base of the waterfall should the photographer set up the camera to maximize the vertical angle of view?
