Chapter 4: Problem 66

Describe what is meant by an angle of elevation and an angle of depression.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Angle of elevation refers to the upward angle from the horizontal line of sight to an object, while angle of depression refers to the downward angle from the horizontal line of sight to an object.

Step by step solution

01

Defining Angle of Elevation

Angle of elevation is the angle created when we look up at an object. It's the angle between the line from our eye (or observation point) to the object and a line horizontal to the ground (or line of sight).
02

Defining Angle of Depression

The angle of depression is the angle formed when we lower our sight or look down at an object. It is the angle between our line of sight (horizontal) and the line from our eye to the object.
