Trig Word Worksheet 2: Angle of Depression

In this trigonometric ratios worksheet, students solve 20 short answer and multiple choice problems.  Students use trigonometric ratios, the angle of depression, and angle of elevation to find missing side lengths of angles of a...

In this angles worksheet, students utilize trigonometry to determine angles of elevation and depression. There are 7 questions and some contain pictures.

Where should I stand to get the best view? Pupils use inverse trigonometric functions to determine the horizontal distance from an object to get the best view. They round out the lesson by interpreting their answers within context.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students manipulate the vector component equations in order to maximize distance for a given initial velocity (using the launch angle as the variable). In an extension,...

Explore the concept of projectile distance through determining the angle that will provide the maximum distance of a launched projectile.  Students launch baseballs on a football field and video tape the path of the ball.

Determine the distance between two trees from afar. Pupils use an interactive resource to create two right triangles using trees and a plane. They determine the horizontal legs of each triangle to find the distance between the two trees.

Distance estimates would be easy if the world were a grid. Scholars work to determine the distance between two structures using a coordinate plane. As an introduction, the lesson focuses on vertical and horizontal distances.

In 2016, one in every four fatal car crashes listed speeding as a contributing factor. Pupils view videos of a car trying to come to a quick stop from four different rates of speed. They use context clues to measure and determine the...
