Khan Academy: Angles of Elevation and Depression

Use right triangles for more than just mathematical problems. The first two lessons of a unit ask pupils determine distances between cities by using the Pythagorean Theorem and a map. To cement understanding, learners use trigonometric...

In this angles of elevation and depression worksheet, 10th graders solve 4 word problems that are related to determining the angles of elevation and depression. First, they define angle of elevation and angle of depression as used in the...

The brother-sister pair Carlos and Clarita need your class's help in developing their new pet sitting business. Through a variety of scenarios and concerns presented to the siblings, the learners thoroughly explore systems of equations...

In this problem you are given an angle of elevation and one side of a right triangle to find a missing side. Watch the instructor explain how to use the tangent ratio formula to solve this problem.
