Yes, Joresse?
We came up with those answers by simple
using the SOHCAHTOA.
Correct! What did the SOHCAHTOA
stands for?
Yes, Ma’am!
So, let’s start!
It is the opposite of
Cotangent -- E
It is the opposite of cosine. Secant -- L
None, Ma’am!
Okay, you will find out later.

Yes, group 3?
For figure 3, the angle above the observer is
∠𝑋𝑂𝑌 and the straight line from the eye of
the observer is line OX.
Yes, Ellanie?
Yes, Joresse?
It is the angle from the horizontal to the line
of sight of the observer to the object above.
Yes, Camille?
It is the angle from the horizontal to the line
of sight of the observer to the object below.
Exactly! We call it as the angle of
depression.

Solutions:
Let x- be the height of the tower in
meters.
Use the mnemonic TOA.
In the triangle above, x is the opposite
side and b is adjacent side of <A.
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan Ɵ = 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝑥
tan 46° =
400
𝑥 = 400 tan 46°
𝑥 = 400 (1.0355)
𝑥 = 414.2 𝑚
The height of the tower is 414.2 m.
Yes, Geline?
(The student will illustrate the problem.)
Yes, Lemery?
Since the two legs of the triangle are part of
the problem, we will be using tangent ratio or
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
simply the TOA (tan Ɵ = 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡).
Yes, Daisy?
Solution:
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan Ɵ = 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
4
tan Ɵ = 6
tan Ɵ = 0.6667
= tan-1 (0.6667)
Ɵ = 33.690
Very good, Daisy! What is now the angle
of depression from the airplane to the
airport?
Yes, Remy?
The angle of depression from the airplane to
the airport is 33.690.
Correct! Any questions, class?
None, Ma’am!
F. Developing mastery
Okay, class. Together with your group,
kindly solve the following problems. I
need one representative from each group
1
to pick a problem from the box. Get 2
sheet of paper per group that will serve as
your answer sheet.
Question 2
Question 3
Question 4
Answer 1
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan 12° =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
92
tan 12° =
𝑑
𝑑 tan 12° = 92°
92
d = tan 12°
92
𝑑=
0.2126
𝑑 = 432.83 𝑚
The distance of the boat from the base
of the hill is 432.83 meters.
Answer 2
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan Ɵ = 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
250
tan Ɵ = 170
tan Ɵ = 1.47
Ɵ = tan−1 1.47
Ɵ = 55.78°
The angle of depression of the rock
from the top of the control tower is
55.78°.
Answer 3
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan 25° =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
280
tan 25° =
𝑑
𝑑 tan 25° = 280
280
d = tan 25°
280
𝑑=
0.4663
𝑑 = 600.47 𝑚
The distance of the boat from the cliff
is 600.47 meters.
Question 4
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
tan 28° =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
1200
tan 28° =
𝑑
𝑑 tan 28° = 1200
1200
d = tan 28°
1200
𝑑=
0.5317
𝑑 = 2256.87 𝑚
The distance of the rock from the
plane is 2256.87 meters
Very good, class! All of you got the
correct answer.

Yes, Ma’am!!
Yes, Carmela?
Yes, Ligaya?
The angle of depression is the angle from the
horizontal to the line of sight of the observer
to the object below.
I. Evaluating learning
Now, we will have a short quiz. It
is an individual work. Get one-half
sheet of paper. For five minutes,
answer the following:
Solution
Problems:
1. A 12-meter high post casts a 19-
meter shadow. Find the angle of elevation
to the sun.
2. A tower is 15.24 m high. At a
certain distance away from the tower, an
observer determines that the angle of
elevation to the top of it is 410. How far is
the observer from the base of the tower?
3. An airplane is flying at a height of 4
kilometres above the ground. The
distance along the ground from the
airplane to the airport is 6 kilometres.
What is the angle of depression from the
airplane to the airport?
