ICSE Class 10 Maths Height and Distance
Introduction to Heights and Distances
The line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object where the person is viewing is called the line of sight.
The angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when the object is above the horizontal level is called the angle of elevation and when the object is below the horizontal level is called the angle of depression.
One can determine the height of an object or the distance between distant objects with the help of trigonometric ratios.Applications of Heights and Distances
