Learner’s Name: _______________________________________________________________________

Grade Level/Section: _________________________________Date: _____________________________

At the end of this activity you are expected to:

1. Illustrate angles of elevation and angles of depression.

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Consider the given pictures below,

Figure 1 Figure 2

In figure 1, suppose the girl wants to see the In figure 2, suppose the boy wants to see the
top of the Eiffel Tower. Her eyes will see ground of the Eiffel Tower. His eyes will see
towards the top of it. The girl is looking above at the bottom. The boy is looking below the
the tower. tower.

Is it possible to find directly the distance along the ground from the person to the tower? The
trigonometric ratios as you have learned in the previous lesson will help you answer these questions.
Perform the succeeding activities to apply these concepts in solving real-life problems.

Definitions Line of Sight

Line of Sight is an imaginary line that connects the eye of an observer to the
object being observed. It is the line between two distant points. The Horizontal line
of sight is parallel to the ground.

The line from the girl’s eyes to the

To the top of the Eiffel Tower and
the line from the boy’s eyes to the girl
is called Line of Sight.

To measure the angle, we draw

A horizontal from the girl’s eyes or
boy’s eyes. Horizontal is a line which
is parallel to the ground.

 Definitions Angle of Elevation

Angle of Elevation is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight of the
observer to the object above.

An angle between the line of

sight of the girl’s eyes and horizontal
above eye level is called ANGLE OF
ELEVATION.

In Angle of Elevation, the

Observer is looking above the
ground.

Definitions Angle of Depression

Angle of Depression is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight of the
observer to the object above.

An angle between the line of

sight of the boy’s eyes and
horizontal below eye level is called
ANGLE OF DEPRESSION.

In Angle of Depression, the

Observer is looking below the
ground.

depression?
2. What ideas have you learned from this activity?
3. Do you think you can use these ideas in your daily life?

PRACTICE TASK 2
Identify Me!
Objective: To develop your accuracy in illustrating the pictures presented by the
information in the given word problems.
Materials: Ruler, Protractor and drawing materials.
Directions:
1. Draw the pictures presented by the information in the problems given. (This
problems don’t ask for an answer).
2. Assume that buildings, ladders, etc. are all on the level ground.
3. Clear, neat and accurate illustration is necessary.

1. The angle of elevation of a foot 1. The angle of depression of a boy

ladder 3 meters distance is leaning from a point on a lighthouse 30
against the wall of a house. meters above the surface of the
water is 10 °.

1. A bird sits on the top of a 8-

meter mango tree. The angle of
depression from the bird to the feet
of a boy standing away from the
mango tree is 35 °.

1. How did you find the activity?

2. Did you encounter any difficulty in illustrating the problems?
3. What mathematical concepts did you apply to have an accurate illustration?

distance of a shadow to a post.

2. The angle of elevation from a boat to the top of 92-meter hill is 12°. How far is
the boat from the base of the hill?

3. An Airplane at an altitude of 1,200 meter. The angle of depression of a n

airplane to a rock on the ground measures 28°. Find the horizontal distance from
the plane to the rock.
