 Background Information
Line of Sight is an imaginary line that connects the eye of an observer to the object
being observed.
The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line and the line of sight
of the observer.
It is like looking down from a building.

Example 1
Horizontal line (20 m)

50°

20 meters

The angle of depression of the car 20 meters away from the base of the building
is 50 degrees.
Example 2

2 meters

40°

From the observer’s line of sight to the duck's head, the angle of depression is 45°.

Example 3

3 meters
