Trigonometric ratios

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let θ represent the angle between me in air and my friend, hence:

tanθ = 326 / 450

θ = 35.9 degrees

The angle of depression = 90 - 35.9 = 54.1°

The angle of depression from you to your friend is 54.1°
