Our Angle of Depression Calculator helps you quickly find the angle between a horizontal line and the line of sight looking downwards at an object. Ideal for students, surveyors, and engineers needing precise trigonometric calculations for heights, distances, and elevation changes. Simplify complex geometry problems instantly with this intuitive tool.
Formula:
The Angle of Depression (ฮธ) is calculated using the formula derived from trigonometry:
ฮธ = tanโปยน(h / d)
Where:
- ฮธ is the Angle of Depression (in degrees).
- h is the vertical height from the observer's horizontal line to the observed object.
- d is the horizontal distance from the observer to the object.
Important: Ensure that h and d are in the same units (e.g., both in meters or both in feet).
