  the	viewer	looks	up.	Let's	say	you	are	standing	on	the	terrace	of	a	building	and	looking	at	the	sky,	the	sun	or	the	moon.	The	angle	formed	in	this	way	between	your	height	above	the	ground	and	the	line	of	sight	formed	is	called	the	elevation	angle.	Definition	of	Angle	of	Elevation	Angle	of	elevation	in	mathematics	is	"the	angle	formed	between	the
  horizontal	line	and	the	line	of	sight	when	the	observer	looks	up	is	called	the	angle	of	elevation".	He	is	always	at	a	height	greater	than	the	viewer's	height.	The	opposite	of	the	angle	of	elevation	is	the	angle	of	depression,	which	is	created	when	the	observer	is	looking	down.	When	studying	heights	and	distances	in	trigonometry,	it	is	important	to	know
  the	angles	of	elevation	and	declination.	Three	common	words	related	to	elevation	are	angle,	horizontal	lines,	and	line	of	sight.	An	observer	at	point	"O"	observes	an	object	located	at	point	"A".	Then	the	horizontal	line	is	OB	and	the	line	of	sight	is	OA.	Then	the	angle	formed	between	OA	and	OB,	which	is	the	angle	AOB,	is	the	angle	of	elevation.
  Elevation	angle	formula	The	elevation	angle	formula	is	no	different	from	trigonometric	ratio	formulas.	Using	the	formulas	below,	we	can	determine	the	elevation	angle	depending	on	which	two	sides	of	the	triangle	are	known.	For	example,	if	we	need	to	find	the	elevation	angle	given	the	height	of	the	object	from	the	horizontal	line	and	the	length	of	the
  line	of	sight,	we	can	use	the	sine	formula.	For	example,	to	calculate	the	elevation	angle	of	an	objectA	distance	of	10	units	from	the	horizontal	line	(y=10)	and	12	units	from	the	observer	to	the	horizontal	line	(x=12),	we	write	tan	θ	=	10/12,	which	can	be	reduced	to	tan	θ	=	5/6	.	The	resulting	value	of	θ	is	thus	tan-1	(5/6).	This	is	the	required	elevation
  angle.	Elevation	angle	vs.	angle	of	inclination	Elevation	angle	and	angle	of	inclination	are	opposites.	An	elevation	angle	places	the	object	above	the	viewer,	while	a	depression	angle	places	it	below	the	viewer.	When	you	stand	on	a	terrace	and	look	at	the	sun,	you	create	an	elevation	angle.	If,	on	the	other	hand,	you	are	looking	at	a	dog	standing	on	the
  street	from	your	terrace,	then	an	angle	of	descent	is	created.	In	both	cases,	we	use	trigonometric	angles	to	find	heights	and	distances.	Let's	understand	the	difference	between	elevation	angle	and	depression	with	the	help	of	the	table	below.	Elevation	Angle	The	depression	angle	is	created	when	the	object	is	placed	above	the	viewer.	Occurs	when	the
  object	is	placed	below	the	viewer's	eye	level.	Also	known	as	Up	Angle.	Also	known	as	the	descending	angle.	The	horizontal	line	is	below	the	object.	The	horizontal	line	is	above	the	object.	In	the	diagram	above,	Δ	is	the	angle	of	elevation	and	Δ	is	the	angle	of	inclination.	â	Related	Topics:	Check	out	these	interesting	articles	to	learn	more	about	the

Trigonometric	Ratios	Calculator	Trigonometric	Calculators	Trigonometric	Chart	Example	1:	If	a	girl	is	standing	at	point	P,	which	is	8	units	from	a	building	and	makes	an	elevation	angle	of	45°	with	point	Q,	find	the	height	of	the	building.	Solution:	Assume	PR	=	8	units	and	â	QPR	=	45°.	To	determine	the
  height	of	the	building	(QR),	we	can	use	the	formula	of	the	height	angle	tan	θ=QR/PR.	tan	45°	=	QR/8	We	know	that	tan	45°	is	1,	so	1	=	QR/8	QR=8	units	Answer:	So	the	height	of	the	building	is	8	units.	exampleFind	the	value	of	x	in	the	given	figure.	Solution:	This	drawing	shows	two	elevation	angles,	one	is	30°	and	the	other	is	45°.	â³POQ,	â	PQO	=	30
  degrees	and	OQ	=	27	feet.	We	apply	the	formula	tan	of	the	elevation	angle	θ	=	PO/OQ,	we	get	tan	30	=	h/27.	The	value	of	Tan	30	is	1/∼3.	1/â3	=	h/27	h	=	27/â3	h	=	3	â3/â3	h	=	3	feet.	Now	using	the	same	"POR"	formula,	we	get	tanθ	=	PO/OR.	tan	45	=	3/x	Tan	45	is	1	and	PO	=	3	feet.	â	1	=	3/x	x	=	3	feet	Answer:	Then	the	value	of	x	is	3	feet.	Example
  3:	Ryan	flies	a	kite	that	makes	an	angle	of	30°	with	the	ground.	Determine	how	high	the	kite	is	above	the	ground	when	it	releases	a	100m	line.	Solution:	"h"	is	the	height	of	the	kite	from	the	ground.	Then	using	the	sine	of	the	number,	sin	30	=	h/100	We	know	that	sin	30	=	1/2.	1/2	=	h/100	h	=	100/2	=	50	m	Answer:	The	kite	is	50	m	above	the	ground.

  level	or	horizontal	line	is	called	the	elevation	angle.	.	For	example,	the	angle	formed	between	the	line	of	sight	and	the	horizontal	when	a	person	on	Earth	observes	the	sun	is	the	elevation	angle.	How	to	find	the	elevation	angle?	The	elevation	angle	can	be	found	if	any	two	sides	of	a	right	triangle	formed	between	the	observer	and	the	object	are	given.
  We	can	use	trigonometric	formulas	to	find	the	elevation	angle.	How	are	elevation	angle	and	depression	related?	Both	elevation	and	depression	angles	are	measured	relative	to	the	horizontal	axis	or	horizontal	line.	The	only	difference	is	that	when	the	observer	looks	at	the	object,	the	elevation	angle	isand	when	looking	down	on	the	object,	a	dimple
  angle	is	formed.	What	is	the	elevation	angle	of	the	Sun?	The	sun's	elevation	angle	is	the	angle	made	between	the	horizontal	line	and	your	line	of	sight	when	looking	at	the	sun.	It	will	continue	to	change	because	the	position	of	the	sun	will	continue	to	change.	Even	if	you	stand	in	the	same	place	in	the	morning	and	in	the	afternoon,	the	angle	of	rise	will
  be	different.	Can	the	elevation	angle	be	greater	than	90?	No,	the	elevation	angle	cannot	be	greater	than	90	degrees.	It	always	forms	a	right	triangle	with	the	object	and	the	horizontal	line.	In	a	right	triangle,	one	angle	is	90	degrees,	which	is	the	angle	opposite	the	line	of	sight.	Obviously,	the	other	two	angles	are	less	than	90	degrees	to	satisfy	the
  triangle	angle	sum	property.	Therefore,	the	elevation	angle	must	not	be	greater	than	90	degrees.	What	is	the	formula	for	elevation	angle?	You	can	use	three	formulas	to	find	the	angle	of	elevation.	The	formulas	for	the	elevation	angle	are	as	follows:	sin	θ	=	perpendicular/hypotence	cos	θ	=	base/hypotence	tan	θ	=	perpendicular/base	How	do	you	find
  altitude?	To	find	the	height	with	the	elevation	angle,	we	need	to	use	the	trigonometric	formulas	given	above,	based	on	which	the	two	sides	of	a	right	triangle	are	given.	How	to	find	the	angle	of	inclination	and	slope?	The	elevation	angle	is	the	angle	between	the	horizontal	line	of	sight	and	the	object	when	the	person	is	looking	at	the	object.	While	the
  angle	of	depression	is	the	angle	between	the	horizontal	line	of	sight	and	the	object	when	a	person	is	looking	down	at	the	object.	What	do	elevation	and	depression	angles	mean?	One	of	the	main	aspects	of	using	elevation	and	depression	is	that	they	are	mainly	used	in	trigonometry	word	problems	when	it	comes	to	a	straight	line.	These	angles	are	used
  when	trigonometric	problems	such	as	sine,and	tangent	along	with	inverse	trigonometric	functions.	How	high	is	the	sun	in	the	elevation	problem?	The	altitude	of	the	sun	means	the	elevation	angle	of	the	sun	from	the	observer.	To	find	it	we	need	to	use	sin,	cos	or	tan	according	to	the	information	provided.	These	Trig	Right	Triangle	apps	give	your
  students	the	extra	practice	they	need	to	be	successful.	The	problems	use	sine,	cosine	and	tangent	to	solve	the	unknown	side.	These	are	single-process	problems,	which	means	you	don't	have	to	solve	one	triangle	to	find	part	of	another.	Problems	include	degrees	and	minutes,	angles	of	elevation,	angles	of	inclination,	typical	kites,	balloons,	stairs	and
  some	less	typical	problems.	Contains:	Two	sets	of	15	task	cards,	one	with	QR	codes	for	self-assessment.
