    The angle of depression is formed between the horizontal line and the observer's line of sight when the observer is at a higher position looking down at an object below. For example, if Sam is at the top of a 40 foot lighthouse and sees a ship at an angle of depression of 52 degrees, the horizontal distance from the ship can be calculated.

    ANGLE OF DEPRESSION

    The angle of depression is the angle that is formed when the object is
    at the bottom and the observer is at the top, between the horizontal
    line and the line of sight of the observer.
    Example in the project of angle of depression:
    Sam is at the top of the lighthouse and sees a ship and a dolphin in
    the water. If the lighthouse is 40 feet above the water and the angel
    of depression is 52⁰. What is the horizontal distance from the ship to
    the nearest foot?
