G9 Math Q4 Module-4

The document is a mathematics module that discusses triangle trigonometry and angles of elevation and depression. It contains four activities to help students understand and apply these concepts. The first activity has students identify whether angles are of elevation or depression in diagrams. The second activity gives a word problem about a boy watching his dog from a window where students must determine if the angle is of elevation or depression and use trigonometry to calculate distances. The third activity has students solve additional problems using these concepts. The final activity provides a word problem for students to illustrate and solve using their understanding of angles of elevation and depression.

Quarter 4 – Module 7 Week 4
Triangle Trigonometry

Self-Learning Module
Angles of Elevation and Angles
of Depression

LET’S EXPLORE YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

The concepts of trigonometric ratios which were discussed in


lessons 1, 2, and 3 are essential in solving word problems involving
right triangles. Many real-life problems on right triangles can be
anchored on these concepts. Without knowledge of these concepts,
you would be in a dilemma learning the new lesson.

➤ Activity 1: Who Am I?
In each of the following illustrations, identify whether ∠A is an angle of
elevation or an angle of depression.

Questions:
1. What did you realize in the activity?
2. Did the activity help you remember the concept of angles of elevation and
depression? How?

3. How do you differentiate an angle of elevation from an angle of
depression?

In the last activity, you have recalled the concepts of angles of elevation
and depression. These concepts will be used in the next activity which will
require you to illustrate a real-life application.

LET’S FIRM-UP YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

The angle of elevation is the acute angle measured up from the


horizontal line to the line of sight.

The angle of depression is the acute angle measured down from a


horizontal line to the line of sight.

➤ Activity 2: Elevation or Depression


Consider the situation below.
A boy who is on the 2nd floor of their house watches his dog lying on the
ground. The angle between his eye level and his line of sight is 32°.

a. Which angle is identified in the problem: angle of elevation or


angle of depression? Justify your answer.

b. If the boy is 3 meters above the ground, approximately how far


is the dog from the house? 4.80m

c. If the dog is 7 meters from the house, approximately how high


is the boy above the ground?

LET’S DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

Your goal in this section is to apply the concepts of angle of elevation


and angle of depression in solving real-life problems.

Take these examples.


1. A four-meter ladder leans against a wall. If the foot of the
ladder makes an angle of 80° with the ground, how high up the wall
does the ladder reach?

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION | DIVISION OF MANDAUE CITY

Given: angle of elevation 800, hypotenuse 4 m
Unknown: height of the wall the ladder reach
(opposite side)

SOH
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
sin800=
4𝑚
opposite side= 4 sin 800
= 3.9 m

2. An airplane took off from an airport and traveled at a constant rate and
angle of elevation. When the airplane reached an altitude of 500 m, its
horizontal distance from the airport was found to be 235 m. What was the
angle when the airplane rose from the ground?

Solution: TOA

𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃 =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
500
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃 =
235
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃 = 2.128
𝜃 = tan−1 (2.128)
𝜃 = 64.830

Pictures depicting real-life situations were given in the previous activity and
your knowledge of the concept of angles of elevation and depression was
assessed. These concepts are important for you to work on the next activity.

➤ Activity 3: Find Me!
Find what is asked. (If answers are not exact, round off to the nearest tenth.)
Answer only odd nos.

Solution for number 2.


Given: angle of depression

a = 20 tan 270
a =10.2 km

LET’S TRANSFER YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

➤ Activity 4: Solve Me!


Illustrate and solve the given problem.

An elevator has an angle of elevation of 10 0 and a vertical rise of 6 m. Find


the length of the escalator.
