8 – 5: Angles of Elevation and Depression pp

Lesson 5 MI/Vocab angle of elevation angle of depression Solve problems involving angles of elevation. Solve problems involving angles of depression. Standard 19.0 Students use trigonometric functions to solve for an unknown length of a side of a right triangle, given an angle and a length of a side. (Key)

Lesson 5 Ex1 Angle of Elevation CIRCUS ACTS At the circus, a person in the audience at ground level watches the high-wire routine. A 5-foot-6-inch tall acrobat is standing on a platform that is 25 feet off the ground. How far is the audience member from the base of the platform, if the angle of elevation from the audience member’s line of sight to the top of the acrobat is 27°? Make a drawing

The pool itself is 50 feet in length. A camera is set up at the opposite end of the pool even with the pool’s edge. If the camera is angled so that its line of sight extends to the top of the diver’s head, what is the camera’s angle of elevation to the nearest degree?

Angle of Depression adj. hyp. From her treehouse, Joan can look directly into her bedroom window. The angle of depression from the treehouse to the base of her house is. The tree is 10 meters from the base of the house. How far is the treehouse from the base of the house?

Lesson 5 Ex2 A wheelchair ramp is 3 meters long and inclines at 6°. Find the height of the ramp to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. A 0.3 cmB 31.4 cmC 31.5 cmD cm Angle of Depression Opposite x Hypotenuse

Lesson 5 Ex2 Answer: The height of the ramp is about meters, or 0.314(100) = 31.4 centimeters. The answer is B. Multiply each side by 3. Simplify.

Lesson 5 Ex3 Indirect Measurement Vernon is on the top deck of a cruise ship and observes two dolphins following each other directly away from the ship in a straight line. Vernon’s position is 154 meters above sea level, and the angles of depression to the two dolphins are 35° and 36°. Find the distance between the two dolphins to the nearest meter. x 154

Lesson 5 Ex3 Indirect Measurement ΔMLK and ΔMLJ are right triangles. The distance between the dolphins is JK or JL – KL. Use the right triangles to find these two lengths. Because are horizontal lines, they are parallel. Thus, and because they are alternate interior angles. This means that

One car is parked along the curb directly in front of her window, and the other car is parked directly across the street from the first car. The angles of depression of Madison’s line of sight to the cars are 17° and 31°. Find the distance between the two cars to the nearest foot.
