Height and Distance Formulas

Scenario	Formula	Description
Height using Angle of Elevation	$h = d \times \tan θ$	Height (h) = Distance (d) × tan(θ).
Distance using Angle of Elevation	$d = \frac{h}{\tan θ}$	Distance (d) = Height (h) ÷ tan(θ).
Height using Angle of Depression	$h = d \times \tan θ$	Height (h) = Distance (d) × tan(θ).
Distance using Angle of Depression	$d = \frac{h}{\tan θ}$	Distance (d) = Height (h) ÷ tan(θ).
General Right Triangle	$\tan θ = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$	tan(θ) = Opposite ÷ Adjacent.
