Meaning of Exchange Rate and Measuring Changes in Exchange Rates
Value of one currency in units of another currency
A decline in a currency’s value is referred to as depreciation and an increase in currency’s value is called appreciation.
If currency A can buy you more units of foreign currency, currency A has appreciated and foreign currency depreciated
If currency A can buy you less units of foreign currency, currency A has depreciated and foreign currency appreciated

Movements in Cross Exchange Rates
If currencies A and B move in same direction, there is no change in the cross exchange rate.
When currency A appreciates against the dollar by a greater (smaller) degree than currency B, then currency A appreciates (depreciates) against B.
When currency A appreciates (depreciates) against the dollar, while currency B is unchanged against the dollar, currency A appreciates (depreciates) against currency B by the same degree as it appreciates against the dollar.
