Which type of objectives have angle of elevation?
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
What does angle of depression in geometry mean?
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
What is the relationship between the angle of elevation and the highest point?
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
How do you interpret first and third angle projection?
The front elevation is in the centre in both projections. In 1st angle projection the end elevation is on the opposite side of the front elevation and the plan view is below the front elevation. In 3rd angle projection the plan view is above the front elevation and the end elevations are on the same side as viewed
How is the angle of elevation affected as the plane flies closer to the person?
The angle of elevation is increased as the plane flies closer because of the decreasing distance.
The angle between the suns position in the sky and the horizon is what?
This angle is termed as Altitude.
Mike and lani stand 21.2 meters apart from mikes position the angle of elevation to the top of the Eiffel tower is 40 degrees from lanis position the angle of elevation to the top of the Eiffel tower?
h[cot(38.5)-cot(40)]=21.2 solve for h you get h=324mters
What determines the phases of the moon?
the position of the moon in relativity to the sun and earth....the angle casts a shadow across the moon
What is the difference between angle of Elevation and angle of Depression?
Angle of elevation is looking upwards to an object and angle of depression is looking downwards to an object
Which type of objectives have angle of elevation?
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
A sextent measures the angle between?
A sextant measures the angle of elevation between the horizon and the north star. Along with charts, it can be used to calculate your position on the sea fairly accurately.
What determines the different phases of the moon?
the position of the moon in relativity to the sun and earth....the angle casts a shadow across the moon
What is the relationship between angle and distance?
distance and angle of elevation are closely related as the more closer you move, the half is the angle of elevation. for e.g. if you travel 30m and cover 15m then, the angle of elevation will be half of what you started with. this can be also proved by a live example as when you have the angle of elevation as 90 degree, then the distance can be zero....
What does angle of depression in geometry mean?
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
What is the relationship between the angle of elevation and the highest point?
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
At a certain distance the angle of elevation to the top of a building is 60 From 40ft further back the angle of elevation is 45 Find the height of the building?
Angle of elevation: tangent angle = opposite/adjacent and by rearranging the given formula will help to solve the problem
What instrument measures angle of elevation and angle of depression?
A sextant.
