1

Line of Sight, Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression

  • Line of sight is the straight line drawn from the observer's eye to the object being viewed
  • Angle of elevation is formed when the line of sight is above the horizontal level (looking up)
  • Angle of depression is formed when the line of sight is below the horizontal level (looking down)
2

Height and Distance Problems - Basic Types

  • Single tower/building height problems using one angle of elevation
  • Problems involving observer's height (add to calculated height)
  • Shadow problems using angles at different times
3

Advanced Problems - Multiple Angles and Objects

  • Problems with two different angles of elevation from same point
  • Problems with angles of depression from height to multiple objects
  • Bridge problems with angles to both banks
4

Problem-Solving Strategies and Techniques
