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....
How do you calculate the horizontal distance in surveying?
2+2
What is the method of determining distance and elevation using instruments and geometry?
Surveying
What is a slope distance?
Surveying terminology. The measure of distance along a slope. The distance of a line where elevation changes from point 1 to point 2
Height of the building73m. its angle of elevation is 60deg at some specific point. what is the distance from that point?
65 m
When coordinates of two geographical points are known and we calculate the distance between them Is the calculated distance the horizontal distance or the actual distance?
The horizontal distance. Points of latitude and longitude can't account for elevation.
The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance is sometimes colloquially phrased as "rise over run"; the numerically calculated value is called "slope". Mathematically, slope can be thought of as the tangent (function) of the "angle of elevation".
What is trigonometric leveling?
It is the process of determining the differences of elevation of stations from observed vertical angle and known horizontal distance..
A building is 60ft high From a distance at A on the ground the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 40 From a lil nearer at B the angle of elevation is 70 Find the distance from A to B?
Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
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
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft what is the planes angle of elevation as it rises?
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft; the plane's angle of elevation as it rises would be 86 degrees.
A building is 120 feet high. at a certain distance away from the building. an observer notices the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 41 degrees. how far is the observer from the base of the building?
6
What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum horizontal distance traveled?
A trajectory of 45 degrees elevation gives the longest horizontal travel- (not taking air drag into consideration nor any aerodynamic properties of a projectile.
What and where is the world's steepest street?
Canton Avenue, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It has a grade of 37%, in other words, in 10 ft of horizontal distance the elevation changes by 3.7 ft.
What is the horizontal distance formula?
The answer depends on the context: If you have a distance vector of magnitude V, that is inclined at an angle q to the horizontal, then the horizontal distance is V*cos(q).
What is the angle of elevation from the top of a bluilding from a point 165 feet away from the building on ground level is 26 degrees what is the height of the building?
The question is not quite clear but if the angle of elevation is 26 degrees at a distance of 165 feet away from the building then its height is 80.47587711 feet. 165*tan(26) = 80.47587711 feet
What is Local Relief?
The vertical difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points of a land surface within a specified horizontal distance or in a limited area. Also known as relative relief.
