Angle of depression is defined as the angle between the horizontal line and the line joining the observer's line of sight to an object below the observer's eye sight. You can be on top of a building and an object is situated on the ground, and the angle between your horizontal line and the object is the angle of depression.
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
The alternate angle is 32 degrees and so 20/tan(32) = 32 meters
The relationship between angle and distance can be understood through trigonometry. In a right triangle, the angle of elevation or depression can be used to calculate the distance to an object using the tangent function: tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent. As the angle increases, the distance also increases, assuming the other side lengths remain constant. This relationship is fundamental in fields such as surveying, astronomy, and physics.
Angle of elevation is looking upwards to an object and angle of depression is looking downwards to an object
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
The angle of depression of a point is the angle between the line joining that point and the point of observation and the horizontal from the point of observation.
Angle of depression is the angle between a horizontal line and the line joining the observer's eye to some object beneath the horizontal line. ^_^

The angle of depression is looking downwards to an object from the horizontal
angle of depression.
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
you could do a model showing the angle of elevation and angle of depression of a building
