What instrument measures angle of elevation and angle of depression?
A sextant.
What is the mathematical definition of angle of depression?
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.
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
The angle of depression from a lighthouse to a ship at sea is 32 degrees. Find the distance the ship is from lighthouse if the height of the lighthouse is 20 meters to the nearest meter?
The alternate angle is 32 degrees and so 20/tan(32) = 32 meters
What is the height of a vertical cliff when a small fishing boat is 200m from its base and the angle of depression is 34 degrees?
Using trigonometry and the tangent ratio its height is 135 meters to the nearest meter.
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

angle of depression.
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
