We can say KL is the line of sight of Carlos
What will be the angle of depression then?

Answer 7

pq?

Answer 8

I don't see a Q in this drawing. what do you mean?

Answer 9

theline acroos the eye its a p and then a q in the end i think??? i dont know what angle of dpresssion is

Answer 10

Oh, you mean in my drawing hehe
the angle of depression is QPR, the angle between the horizontal line QP and the line to the object PR

Answer 11

\( \text{angle of depression} = \angle QPR = \theta \)

Answer 12

zero?

Answer 13

no, it's a greek letter called 'theta' and looks \(\theta\), it is not zero
Look at the drawing you will see it there. they could call it alpha (\(\alpha\)) instead.. just another greek letter.

Answer 14

anyway, just try to see the concept. they ask us what is the 'angle of depression' to the car
we know that our horizontal line of sight in that case is KL
What is the line to the car?

Answer 15

pj?

Answer 16

no I mean the line from the eye of Carlos to the car

Answer 17

ki

Answer 18

Answer 19

Answer 20

or l?

Answer 21

Or IKL
Same idea

Answer 22

oh ok

Answer 23
