Angles of Elevation and Depression • The angle of elevation is the angle from an imaginary horizontal line and the observer’s line of sight to an object that is above the horizontal line. • The angle of depression is the angle from an imaginary horizontal line and the observer’s line of sight to an object that is below the horizontal line.
