Trigonometry Section 3 – Solve Application Problems using Right Triangle Trigonometry
2
Applications Measuring inaccessible lengths Height of a building (tree, tower, etc.) Width of a river (canyon, etc.)
3
Terminology Angle of Elevation A
4
Terminology Angle of Depression A
5
Application: Height To establish the height of a building, a person walks 120 ft away from the building. At that point an angle of elevation of 32 is formed when looking at the top of the building. Example 1 of 4
6
Application: Height 32 120 ft h = ? Example 1 of 4 H = 74.98 ft To establish the height of a building, a person walks 120 ft away from the building. At that point an angle of elevation of 32 is formed when looking at the top of the building.
7
Application: Height 68 h = ? 55 ft Example 2 of 4 H = 136.1 ft An observer on top of a hill measures an angle of depression of 68 when looking at a truck parked in the valley below. If the truck is 55 ft from the base of the hill, how high is the hill?

Surveying
9
Application: Surveying ? 70 ft 37 Example 3 of 4 D = 52.7 ft
10
Application: Surveying Road has a grade of 5.5%. Convert this to an angle expressed in degrees. 100 ft 5.5 ft ? Example 4 of 4 A = 3.1
