PQ is the height of a building, QR is the base, the angle of depression from a point P at the point R is `angle"SPR"`, So, `angle"SPR" = angle"PRQ"`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

True ,
Since ` "PS" abs() "QR" ` and PR is their transversal,
`therefore " " angleSPR and anglePRQ` are altrernate angles.
`therefore " " angleSPR = anglePRQ`.
