The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
The front elevation is in the centre in both projections. In 1st angle projection the end elevation is on the opposite side of the front elevation and the plan view is below the front elevation. In 3rd angle projection the plan view is above the front elevation and the end elevations are on the same side as viewed
The angle of elevation is increased as the plane flies closer because of the decreasing distance.
i dont care about math even though i use it.
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
If the base of the elevation is at a distance d from the observer, then the highest point is at a height = d*tan(angle of elevation)
Angle of elevation: tangent angle = opposite/adjacent and by rearranging the given formula will help to solve the problem
A sextant.

yes
To measure an angle of elevation using a protractor, first position the protractor so that its center point aligns with the vertex of the angle you are measuring. Ensure the baseline of the protractor is level with the horizontal line from the vertex. Look up towards the point creating the angle of elevation and read the measurement on the protractor where the line of sight intersects the degree scale. This reading indicates the angle of elevation from the horizontal to the line of sight.
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
the angle of elevation would be the angle between the horizon and the line of sight to whatever object you are measuring to. Lets say for instance that you see a plane, and you determine that it has an angle of elevation of 30 deg. This means that from the horizon, you would need to look up at an angle of 30 degrees to see that plane. below I linked to a diagram which illustrates it quite well. Hope this helped!
