In angle of depression, we studied that

1. Angle of depression.jpg

Here, the angle of elevation of the girl to the boy is

Angle of Depression from point A to point B is same as Angle of Elevation from point B to point A - Part 2

Now, the two horizontal lines are parallel,

and line of sight is the transversal

Angle of Depression from point A to point B is same as Angle of Elevation from point B to point A - Part 3

AB and CD are parallel lines,

and BC is the transversal

∴ Angle of depression and angle of elevation are alternate angles, and they are equal

∴ Angle of depression = Angle of elevation

Thus, Angle of Depression from point A to point B is same as Angle of Elevation from point B to point A
