Angle of Elevation/Depression (degrees)

--

Where:
θ = angle of elevation/depression
h = height of the object
d = distance to the object
θ = arctan(h/d)

Learn how to use the Height Sight Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the height of the object in meters.
  2. Enter the distance from the observer to the base of the object in meters.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the angle of elevation or depression.
  4. The result will be displayed in degrees.

Working Principle

The angle of elevation or depression is calculated using the tangent function. The formula is θ = arctan(h/d), where θ is the angle, h is the height of the object, and d is the distance from the observer to the base of the object.
