Angle of Depression

and Angle of
Elevation
ACTIVITY TIME!
I’ll give you two pictures each group, a
marker and cartolina. All you have to
do is to list all the possible differences
of the two pictures you have and write
it on the cartolina. I’ll give you five
minutes to finish the activity, after that
you’ll present your work.

Angles of Depression
• Angles of Depression is the angle formed
by the downward line of sight and a
horizontal line. The downward line of sight
is drawn from the observer to an object at
a lower position. And the horizontal line is
the eye level.
Angles of Elevation
• Angles of Elevation, every time you look up or
looking upward at something in the sky, or above
you, you are creating something called the Angle
of Elevation with your eyes.
• Angle of Elevation is the angle above the
horizontal line that an observer must look in
order to see an object that is higher than the
observer.
Example:
• A girl on the rooftop of a 12-meter high
building sees a car on the parking lot. If
the angle of depression from the girl to
the car is 60, then how far is the car from
the building? The girl is 1.2 meters in
height. Round off your answer to the
nearest hundredths.
Example:
• Imagine an airplane that is about to take-
off. Directly in the path of the plane,
1,850m from the point of take-off, there is
a building with a height of 230m. If the
plane will rise at a constant angle, then
what should be the take-off angle so that
the plane will clear the building?
