Angle of elevation and depression March 28, 2018

Objective :  Given a right triangle, students will be able to write and use  trigonometric ratios to solve in applied problems involving angles of elevation and angles of depression.

G­SRT.8 Angle of Elevation and DepressionAngle of Elevation is the angle formed by the horizontal line and an observer's line of sight to an object above the horizontal line.

Angle of Depression is the angle formed by the horizontal line and an observer's line of sight to an object below the horizontal line.

Angle of Elevation is congruent to the Angle of Depression because they are Alternative Interior Angles. 

Describe angle 1 and angle 2 as they relate to the given situation.
