A ski slope is 250 yards long with a vertical drop of 100 yardsfind the angle of depression of the slope?
The angle of depression is equal to the angle of elevation, so use the sine ratio to find the angle. sine = opposite (the vertical drop) divided by the hypotenuse (the ski slope) sine = 100/250 = 2/5 or 0.4 sine-1(0.4) = 23.57817848 degrees which is about 24 degrees
100 ft height tree casts a shadow that is 130 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation: tan-1(100/130) = 37.6 degrees rounded to one decimal place
What is the height of a mountain when from the bottom of a tower 180 meters in height the angle of elevation is 26.42 degrees and from its top the angle of elevation is 25.3 degrees?
By drawing a sketch from the given information then using triangulation and trigonometry the height of the mountain works out as 3704.435 meters rounded to three decimal places.
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
What is the angle of elevation to the sun when a tree 6 m high cast a shadow of 4.8 m on level ground?
51.34019175 degrees or as 51o20'24.69''
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
What does angle of depression in geometry mean?
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
What instrument measures angle of elevation and angle of depression?
A sextant.
What is the length of DE if the angle of depression from D to F measures 25 degrees and EF length is 10 yards?
The angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation because they are alternate angle so use the tangent ratio:- 10*tan(25) = 4.663076582 or 4.663 yards to 3 decimal places

About how long is a shadow of an 80 ft tall oak tree if the angle of the sun is 40 degrees?
It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression) At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft
A ski slope is 250 yards long with a vertical drop of 100 yardsfind the angle of depression of the slope?
The angle of depression is equal to the angle of elevation, so use the sine ratio to find the angle. sine = opposite (the vertical drop) divided by the hypotenuse (the ski slope) sine = 100/250 = 2/5 or 0.4 sine-1(0.4) = 23.57817848 degrees which is about 24 degrees
What is the object in angle of elevation and depression?
It can be any object that is above or below the horizontal from the perspective of a viewer.
Consider and indoor ski resort. The longest ski run drops 51 ft and has an angle of depression of approximately 6.7 degrees Find the length of the ski run.?
The alternate angle of depression is the angle of elevation and so 51/tan(6.7) = 434 ft which will be the length of the ski run providing the given information forms a right angle triangle.
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
From the top of a cliff 32 meter high it is noted that the angles of depression of two boats lying in the line due east of the cliff are 21 degrees and 17 degrees How far are the boats apart?
Angle of depression equals angle of elevation (alternate angles) So use the tangent ratio to find the distance of the two ships are from the base of the cliff: 104.6672838 - 83.36285007 = 21.30443373 meters apart.
