 Angle of Elevation
• The angle of elevation is a widely used
concept related to height and distance,
especially in trigonometry. It is defined as an
angle between the horizontal plane and
oblique line from the observer’s eye to some
object above his eye.
 Angle of Depression
•The angle of depression is the angle between
the horizontal line and the observation of
the object from the horizontal line. It is
basically used to get the distance of the two
objects where the angles and an object's
distance from the ground are known to us.
 Word Problem

minaret is 45 meters. What is the height
of the minaret of the Mosque?
