The Angles of Elevation AND Angles of Depression

The document discusses angles of elevation and depression. The angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight from an observer to an object above. The angle of depression is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight to an object below. Examples are given to illustrate identifying these angles in different diagrams. Tasks are presented for students to draw and solve problems involving angles of elevation and depression.
