For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We then have the following trigonometric relationship
 tan (theta) = 306/580
 Clearing the angle we have:
 theta = atan (306/580)
 theta = 27.8 degrees
 The nearest option is:
 theta = 27.4 degrees
 Answer:
 the angle of depression from the top of the statue's torch to Frank is:
 a. 27.4º
