WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A SIDEWE USE SIN, COS, OR TAN.

When we are trying to find an angle we use sin-1, cos-1, or tan-1.

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.

Page 25: Trigonometric  Ratios

Since horizontal lines are parallel, 1 2 by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem. Therefore the angle of elevation from one point is congruentto the angle of depression from the other point.

RIVER WIDTHA surveyor is measuring a river’s width. He uses a tree and a big rock that are on the edge of the river on opposite sides. After turning through an angle of 90° at the big rock, he walks 100 meters away to his tent. He finds the angle from his walking path to the tree on the opposite side to be 25°. What is the width of the river?Draw a diagram to describe this situation. Label the variable(s)

BUILDING HEIGHTA spire sits on top of the top floor of a building. From a point 500 ft. from the base of a building, the angle of elevation to the top floor of the building is 35o. The angle of elevation to the top of the spire is 38o. How tall is the spire?
