REPRESENT A SITUATION INVOLVING THE ANGLE OF ELEVATION AND THE ANGLE OF DEPRESSION USING

DIAGRAMS

Example 1
Sketch a diagram to represent the situation.

The height of Aiman is 1.5 m. He is standing 8 m away from a vertical lamp pole. The angle of elevation between the peak of the lamp pole and a point X on the lamp pole from the eyes of Aiman is 300 and 200 respectively.
