How do you interpret first and third angle projection?

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

How do you use a protractor to measure an angle of elevation?

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.


Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?

If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation


What is 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!
