### Geo Final: Topics 8 and 10

#### Description of Angle in the Given Situation

**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
The image above depicts an airplane and a radar tower with various angles indicated. The following points are connected with lines showing different angles:
- Point at the airplane's vertical position.
- Point at the radar tower's vertical position.
- Point at a certain distance horizontally on the ground from both the airplane and the radar tower positions.

Five angles are labeled:
1. Angle at the top between the horizontal line from the airplane and its vertical line.
2. Angle 2 is the angle between the line connecting the airplane and the radar tower and the vertical line from the radar.
3. Angle 3 is the angle formed between a line from the radar to a point horizontally aligned with the airplane and the radar's vertical line.
4. Angle 4 is the angle formed between a line from the point horizontally aligned on the ground and the vertical line from the radar.
5. Angle 5 is the angle above the horizontal line of the airplane, typically an angle of elevation or depression between points in the journey of the airplane and radar visibility.

#### Question:
**What is the description of ∠2 as it relates to the situation shown?**

- ☐ ∠2 is the angle of depression from the airplane to the radar tower.
- ☐ ∠2 is the angle of depression from the radar tower to the airplane.
- ☐ ∠2 is the angle of elevation from the airplane to the radar tower.
- ☐ ∠2 is the angle of elevation from the radar tower to the airplane.

---

The image and accompanying question aim to help students understand the concepts of angles of depression and elevation in real-world contexts such as aviation and radar tracking. Students need to identify and apply the correct terminology to describe the angle labeled as ∠2.
