To find the depth of the canyon, we can use trigonometric relationships involving the angles of elevation and the lengths involved. Let's denote:

• $A$ as the point directly below the observer at the deepest point in the canyon.
• $B$ and $C$ as the ends of the bridge, with $AB = AC = x$ (the horizontal distances from $A$ to $B$ and $C$).
• The angle of elevation to $B$ is $77^\circ$ and to $C$ is $72^\circ$.

Using the tangent function, we have:

$h = x \tan(77^\circ)$ $h = (5065 - x) \tan(72^\circ)$

Setting the two expressions for $h$ equal to each other gives us:

$x \tan(77^\circ) = (5065 - x) \tan(72^\circ)$

Now we can solve for $x$:

$x \tan(77^\circ) + x \tan(72^\circ) = 5065 \tan(72^\circ$ $x(\tan(77^\circ) + \tan(72^\circ)) = 5065 \tan(72^\circ)$ $x = \frac{5065 \tan(72^\circ)}{\tan(77^\circ) + \tan(72^\circ)}$

Calculating the values for $x$ and then substituting back to find $h$:

1. Calculate $\tan(77^\circ)$ and $\tan(72^\circ)$.
2. Solve for $x$.
3. Substitute $x$ into either equation to find $h$.
