IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction
This lesson shall focus on solving real-life problems about angles of elevation and depression using the six
trigonometric ratios you have learned from the previous weeks. We will learn to see the world mathematically by
reimagining objects into their triangular counterparts and then solving that triangle by finding the lengths of the sides or the
measure of the angles of the triangle.
Steps in problem solving involving trigonometric ratios:
1. Draw a diagram. Transform it into a geometric triangle and label each part correctly.
2. Determine the given and the question that needs to be answered.
3. Identify the corresponding trigonometric formula to be used.
4. Show your solution.
5. Present the conclusion.
D. Development
See example problems 1 and 2 below. This will be your guide in accomplishing the next learning tasks.
E. Engagement
Solve for the missing value in each problem.
1. Find the measure of ∠𝐴. 2. Find the height of the flagpole.

A. Assimilation
Solve the following word problems using the method/steps above.
1. A ladder 8 meters long leans against the wall of a building. If the foot of the ladder makes an angle of 68°
with the ground, how far is the base of the ladder from the wall?
2. A man, 1.5 m tall, is on top of a building. He observes a car on the road at an angle of 75°. If the building is
30 m high, how far is the car from the building?
V. ASSESSMENT
Solve the following word problems using the method above.
1. Obiwan is standing at a distance of 15 m from the base of a tree. From where he is standing, he can see the
top of the tree. If the tree is 15 m high and Obiwan is 1 m tall, what is the angle of elevation of the top of
the tree?
2. A bamboo pole is leaning against a tree. If the height of the tree is 12.2 meters and the angle made by the
pole and the ground is 40°, what is the length of the pole?
