Angle of Depression and

Elevation

Picture of Elevation and

depression

A tower is 15.24 m high. At a

certain distance away from the
tower, an
observer determines that the
angle of elevation to the top of
it is 41. How far is
the observer from the base of
the tower?

Act. 4.17
An airplane is flying at a height
of 4 kilometers above the
ground. The
distance along the ground from
the airplane to the airport is 6
kilometers. What is
the angle of depression from the
airplane to the airport?
