The line of sight is drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object viewed.
The angle of elevation is formed when the line of sight is raised above the horizontal level.
The angle of depression is formed when the line of sight is lowered below the horizontal level.
Trigonometric ratios assist in determining distances, heights, and lengths of objects.
The line drawn from an observer's eye to a point of interest in an object.
The angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when the observed point is above the horizontal level.
The angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when the observed point is below the horizontal level.
Ratios such as sine, cosine, and tangent that relate the angles and lengths of triangles, used for calculating heights and distances.
