In the figure, ABC is a right triangle in whuch AB-8 m, <BCA -30• ,then find
fu) the angle of depression of Cat A.
the angle of elevation of A at C.
(in) BC and AB
(i) From the diagram, it is clear that the angle of elevation of A with respect to C is 30? where BC becomes the horizontal.
(ii) DC is a vertical line drawn from A so that we get a reference line from which we can measure the depression angle.
As AD and BC are both vertical lines therefore they are parallel.
Now ∠ACB = ∠CAD as they are alternate angles along two parallel lines
therefore, ∠ CAD = 60?
Now, from the diagram drawn before we can easily say that The angle of depression of C at A is 60?
