By the AA Similarity Postulate, a right triangle with a given acute angle is similar to every other right triangle with that same acute angle measure. So ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF ~ ∆XYZ, and. These are trigonometric ratios. A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of two sides of a right triangle.

If you know the sine, cosine, or tangent of an acute angle measure, you can use the inverse trigonometric functions to find the measure of the angle.

An angle of elevation is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line of sight to a point above the line. In the diagram, 1 is the angle of elevation from the tower T to the plane P. An angle of depression is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line of sight to a point below the line. 2 is the angle of depression from the plane to the tower.
