q4 Lesson 5 Angle of Depression With Solution

Dear God,
We thank you for a hundredfold for the love

and care that you have given us. May we in
return to you your good works by
multiplying it with love and respect, adding
more faith, subtracting the unworldly
behavior and evil works and dividing you
given talents to others so we can sum it all
and be united as one in your family. Amen

ASSIGNMENT
Solve for the unknown. Use your calculator. Round off your
answer to two decimal places.
1.Ana wants to measure the height of a tree.
She walks exactly 125 feet away from the foot
of the tree and looks back at the top of the
tree. She finds that the angle of elevation of
the top of the tree as 33°. How tall is the tree?
Solution:
opposite
tan θ =
adjacent
x
tan 33° =
x 125
tan 33°(125) = x
81.18 ft = x
33° ∴ The tall of the tree is
125ft 81.18 ft.
2. A 6-foot person casts a 5-foot shadow. What is the
angle of elevation of the sun?
Solution:
opposite

3.The angle of elevation of the sun is 35°. How long
is the shadow cast by a building 94 meters high?
Solution:

ANGLE OF DEPRESSION
ANGLE OF DEPRESSION
The angle of depression
is the angle between a
horizontal line from the
observer and the line of
sight to an object that is
below the horizontal
line.
Horizontal lines are
parallel, so the
angle of elevation
and angle of
depression are
alternate interior
angles hence the
angles are
congruent
Example 1:
A man stands in the tower. He spies a
motorcycle from the window to the
ground at 60° angle of depression. After
careful measurements, he determines
the motorcycle is 30m away from the
base of the light house. How far is the
motorcycle from the man?

from the base of the cliff. Find the angle of depression of the
boat.
3. Richard, Robert, Roger, Michael, Nicole, Arnold, and Nelsen
placed an 18-foot ladder against a side of a building. The base of
the ladder was positioned at an angle of 68𝑜 with the ground for
secure footing. What is the distance of the base of the ladder to
the side of the building?

Valuing
A calculator is one of the electronic

devices that helps people do arithmetic
and calculations. This technology has
become a big help for many, especially to
students, to businessmen, and those in
the mathematical field. If you are to invent
one device, what would it be and how
significant would it make for people of
today’s generation?
