. 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.?
Using the sine rules in trigonometry the height of the mountain works out as 3704 meters in height to the nearest whole number.
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.?
The angle of depression is looking downwards to an object from the horizontal
Depends on the angle between the side and the base. The smaller the angle the larger the height.
902 ft
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
Using the sine rules in trigonometry the height of the mountain works out as 3704 meters in height to the nearest whole number.
Using trigonometry and the tangent ratio its height is 135 meters to the nearest meter.
Q: Consider a zip rider having a zip line of length 5277 ft and its vertical drop as1314 ft. Find its angle of depression.?
Its the reciprocal of the sine of the ramp angle. > 1 / ( sin ( ramp angle ) )
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. ^_^
A sextant.
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.
