    Angle of depression is the angle that is created below the horizontal with your line of sight. to solve the angle of depression, use the formula:

    tan (d) = o / a

    where d is the angle of depresion

    h is the opposite side of the angle which is the height 60 ft

    a is the adjacent side of the angle which is 25 ft

    tan (d) = 60 / 25

    d = arctan (60 / 25)

    d = 67.38 degrees
