Warm Up Find the missing side length Find the missing angle
2
HW Check – 3.1 (pgs 1 & 2)
3
Angles of Elevation and Depression
4
The Angle of Depression is the angle from the “sky to the sight line”
5
Angle of Elevation The Angle of Elevation is the angle from the “ground to the sight line”
6
Claim: angle of depression = angle of elevation
Why?
7
From the top of a lighthouse the angle of depression to a boat is 2 degree.
If the top of the lighthouse is 25m above sea level, what is the distance x between the boat and the base of the lighthouse to the nearest integer? 25 x
8
ALWAYS DRAW A PICTURE!!! The angle of elevation from point A to the top of a cliff is 38 degrees. If point A is 80 feet from the base of the cliff, how high is the cliff?
