on Definition of Terms

Line of sight is an imaginary line that connects the

eye of an observer to the object being observed.

The angle of elevation is the angle from the

horizontal to the line of sight of the observer to the
object above.

In the above figure, you can see an observer on the

ground who is looking at the object located higher
than him, an angle is formed by his line of sight
and horizontal line which is his eye level. The
angle is called angle of elevation of the object.
Here, if we connect the object to the point directly
below it along the horizontal line, a right triangle
is formed. Thus, we can use a trigonometric
function to find the distance of the observer from
the foot of the vertical line. The line segment
representing the height of the object is the side
opposite the angle θ and the horizontal line is the
adjacent side to the same angle θ.

The trigonometric function to use in finding the

angle of elevation of an object depends on the
given measures of the sides of the formed right
triangle. There is a need for you to recall the ratio
of the lengths of the sides that defines each
trigonometric function with reference to an acute
angle of the right triangle. The mnemonic SOH-
CAH-TOA-CAO-SHA-CHO may be of great help
to you in identifying the appropriate trigonometric
function based on the given measures of the right
triangle.

You may consider the following as reminders in

determining the function to use.
1. If the measures of either leg and the
hypotenuse of the right triangle are
given, then sine or cosine function may be used.
2. If the measures of the legs of the right
triangle are given, then tangent
function is to be used.

Let us have some situational problems that involve

angle of elevation. Proper understanding and
interpretation to the problem is necessary for you
to come up with proper illustration. Usually,
limited understanding and wrong interpretation to
the problem lead to incorrect illustration which
gives you lower chance to answer and solve the
give problem correctly.

EXAMPLE 1

A tower is 15.24 m high. At a certain distance

away from the tower, a man on the level ground
observes that the angle of elevation of the top of
the tower is 41°. How far is the man from the
tower?
Solution:

Let x be the distance of the man from the tower

(adjacent side to ∅ =4 10).

Answer: 17.52 meters is the distance of the man

from the tower

EXAMPLE 2

A passenger on a ship, observes a 1,800-m high

lighthouse that stands on a hill which is 3,700
meters away from the ship. Find the angle of
elevation of the top of the lighthouse from the
ship.

Solution:

Let ∅ be the angle of elevation of the top of the

light house from the ship.

The teacher will randomly select five students to

answer on the board by drawing numbers. Each
student whose number is drawn will go to the
board and solve the given problem.

PROBLEM
Suppose that when the angle of elevation of the
sun is 63.4°, a building casts a shadow of 37.5
feet. How tall is the building?

Let y be the height of the angle of the building

(opposite side to ∅ =63 . 4°)

Answer: Therefore, 74.89 ft. is the height of the

building.

e. Generaliz 1. What did you discover about the angle of

ation elevation and its real-life applications?
Question: What role does angle of elevation in
f. Valuing
your daily life?
g. In ¼ sheet of paper, please answer this!
 Carefully read the given problem and sketch a
diagram representing the situation. Label the
important parts, including the wall, ladder, angle
of inclination, and the distance from the foot of the
ladder to the wall.

After sketching, analyze the triangle formed and

determine which trigonometric ratio (sine, cosine,
Evaluatio
or tangent) is appropriate to use in solving for the
n
unknown distance.

Problem
A ladder leans against a 6-m high wall and reaches
the top. If the ladder is inclined with the ground at
an angle of 60 degrees, how far is the foot ladder
from the wall?

h. Assignme In ¼ sheet of paper, solve the problem step by step.
