While studying for any competitive examination, it is essential to study mathematics. There are different topics that are essential to be studied under mathematics, among which the “angle of depression” is one inevitable part. It can often be seen that most of the students are afraid of studying mathematics which makes it difficult for them to crack the competitive examinations. It can be stated that it doesn’t become critical if the topic is clearly described and explained to the students. Hence, the assignment has been progressed by stating what is “angle of depression”, “angle of depression”, problems and formulas of angle of depression, etc.
What is “Angle of Depression”?
The study is going to proceed with the explanation regarding what is the “angle of depression?” In mathematics, “Angle of depression” is stated as the specific angle that is generated between the line which is horizontal, and the sight that an observant can see when he or she looks downwards from the horizontal line. It can be seen that the angle of depression is often used in the trigonometry word problems, and it can be seen that it is inevitable to solve those trigonometry problems. Hence, it can be stated that in case of the “angle of depression”, it is essential that the object always stands behind the horizontal axis, or the horizontal plane.
If it is essential to explain the “angle of depression” with real problems, it can be stated that the “angle of depression” is required when an observer stands at a higher point than where the objects that the observer tries to see stands. Hence, it can be stated that the line of sight is the line that connects the observer and the object that the observer wants to see. Hence, the angle of depression can be stated as the particular angle that lies between the line of sight and horizontal plane. It can be stated as the line that connects the observer and the object. Hence, it can be stated that if the “angle of depression” is zero, it can be stated that the object is lying on the very horizontal line.
Formulas of “Angle of depression”
The “angle of depression” is termed as TAN in the language of trigonometry. Hence, if the angle of depression is going to be measured, it is required to identify the division between the height where the observer is standing at and the distance between the observer and the object. Hence,
TAN (The Angle of Depression) = the standing height of the observer/the distance between the observer and the object.
It can be stated that the “angle of depression” is one of the most essential tools in solving the everyday problems of the lives of people. It can be seen that in the everyday lives of people, there are several applications of the angle of depression to solve different problems.
“Angle of Depression” example
It has already been stated that there are several examples where the angle of depression is implemented. Some examples of the implementation of the line of depression are discussed below.
Example 1: If a person is standing at the top of the building, and a car is standing at the parking lot a distance of 100 meters, and the line of sight is 60 degrees, it is possible to calculate the height of the building with the angle of depression.
Example 2: If a person is standing at a hill point and looking at a tree below the hill, it is essential to find out the angle of depression to identify the difference between the observer and the object.
Conclusion
After a detailed discussion on the “Angle of depression” it can be seen that this can be considered as one of the most essential tools of everyday life. It can be stated that in our lives there are different problems that can be solved through the formulas of the angle of depression. It can be stated that the ‘angle of depression’ can be stated as the angle that is created between the horizontal line and the “line of sight”. It can be seen that in the language of trigonometry, the angle of depression is called TAN. It can also be stated that it is possible that the angle of depression is zero, if the object that the observer is trying to see stands on the very horizontal plane. Hence, it can be stated that in this assignment the angle of depression is explained very well, and elaborately, with the practical examples.
