In surveying the angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal looking up to some object

You can walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and take a photo of the Opera House from about the same height as top of the highest sail
This photo was taken from a point about 500 m horizontally from the Opera House and we observe the waterline below the highest sail as having an angle of depression of 80 How high above sea level is the bull
highest sail ofthe Opera House
This is a simple tan ratio problem ( -tan 80 = h500
So
h = 500 tan 80 = 7027 m
So the height of the tallest point is around 70 m
[The actual height is 674 m]

In surveying the angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal looking up to some object

The angle of depression is the angle from the horizontal looking down to some object

You can walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and take a photo of the Opera House from about the same height as top of the highest sail
This photo was taken from a point about 500 m horizontally from the Opera House and we observe the waterline below the highest sail as having an angle of depression of 80 How high above sea level is the bull
highest sail ofthe Opera House
This is a simple tan ratio problem ( -tan 80 = h500
So
h = 500 tan 80 = 7027 m
So the height of the tallest point is around 70 m
[The actual height is 674 m]

You can walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and take a photo of the Opera House from about the same height as top of the highest sail
This photo was taken from a point about 500 m horizontally from the Opera House and we observe the waterline below the highest sail as having an angle of depression of 80 How high above sea level is the bull

This is a simple tan ratio problem ( -tan 80 = h500
So

So the height of the tallest point is around 70 m

This is a simple tan ratio problem ( -tan 80 = h500
So
