 Sudut depresi dan sudut elavasi

The angle of elevation in math is "the angle formed between the

horizontal line and the line of sight when an observer looks upwards is
known as an angle of elevation". It is always at a height that is greater
than the height of the observer. The opposite of the angle of elevation
is the angle of depression which is formed when an observer looks
downwards.
Let the observer at 'O' is observing an object that is at 'A'. Then
the horizontal line is OB and the line of sight is OA. Then the angle
formed between OA and OB which is angle AOB is the angle of
elevation.
 Sudut depresi dan sudut elavasi

The angle of depression is "an angle formed between the horizontal line
and the line of sight when an observer looks downwards at an object is
known as an angle of depression". It measures the change of angle of our
sight when we look down.

The angle of depression involves the following terminology:

• Observer (the person who observes)
• Object (the object that is being observed by the observer)
• Horizontal line (a horizontal ray that starts from the observer)
• Line of sight (the line that connects the observer and the object)
The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line and the
line of sight. In the following figure, the observer is at 'O' and the object is
at 'B'. Let OA be the horizontal line and OB be the line of sight. So, the
angle formed between these two, i.e angle AOB is the angle of depression.

 LATIHAN PEMAHAMAN
1. Seorang pilot pesawat melihat puncak gunung dari ketinggian 1200 meter. Apabila sudut depresi
sebesar 30 derajat, maka
a. Gambarkan sketsa puncak gunung, posisi pesawat dan ketinggian dari tanah
b. Tentukan jarak pesawat ke puncak gunung
2. Sebuah tangga disandarkan pada suatu pohon kelapa yang batangnya lurus dan mempunyai buah siap
panen. Sudut yang dibentuk oleh tangga itu dengan tanah (horizontal) adalah 60 derajat. Jarak kaki
tangga ke batang pohon kelapa hingga dapat meraih buah adalah 5 meter. Hitunglah jarak lintasan
yang ditempuh seseorang untuk dapat mengambil buah pohon kelapa tersebut.
3. Ryan is flaying a kite that makes an angle of elevation of 30 degree with the ground. Determine how
high the kite is above the ground when she has let out 100 m of string.
4. If a girl is standing at point P, which is 8 units away from a building, making an angle of elevation of
45 degree with point Q, find the height of building.
