The angle below horizontal that an observer must look to see an object that is lower than the observer. Note: The angle of depression is congruent to the angle of elevation (this assumes the object is close enough to the observer so that the horizontals for the observer and the object are effectively parallel; this would not be the case for an astronaut in orbit around the earth observing an object on the ground).
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.
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
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. ^_^
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
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.
The angle of depression is looking at an object below your line of sight.
Angle of elevation is looking upwards to an object and angle of depression is looking downwards to an object
Q: Consider a zip rider having a zip line of length 5277 ft and its vertical drop as1314 ft. Find its angle of depression.?
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
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. ^_^
A sextant.
yes
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.
The angle of depression is looking downwards to an object from the horizontal
. The angle of depression of the top and bottom of a tower as seen from the top of a 100m high cliff are 300 and 600 respectively. Find the height of the tower.?
