The learner demonstrates understanding of the basic concepts of trigonometry.
The learner is able to apply the concepts of trigonometric rations to formulate and solve real-life
problems with precision and accuracy.
M9GE-IVe-1. The learner uses trigonometric ratios to solve real-life problems involving right
triangles.
At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to:
 Define the meaning of angles of elevation and angles of depression;
 Give the segment that represent the line of sight.
 Find if the given angle illustrates whether the angle is angles of elevation or angles of
depression.

The teacher asks the students about the previous topic the six trigonometric ratio and the angle
of elevation.
 What is angle of elevation?
Answer: Angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal line that passes through an
observer’s eye and the straight line that joins the observer’s eye to an object situated at the
higher level than the observer.
 In solving angle of elevation, we are using the trigonometric ratios, what are those?
Answer: There are six functions of an angle used in trigonometry. Their names and
abbreviations are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot, secant (sec), and
cosecant (cos).
Trigonometric functions are used in obtaining unknown angles and distance from known and
measured angles in geometric figures. It developed from a need to compute angles and
distances in such fields as Astronomy, Map Making, Surveying, etc.
Now in our lesson we used it to solve for particular real-life problems involving right triangle.

3. Cotangent
4. Ratios
5. Functions
In the previous discussion, you have learned how to solve problems involving angles of
elevation. In today’s lesson, we are going to learned what is angle of depression, how to
 illustrate and solve problems involving the Angle of Depression.

Angle of depression is an acute angle formed by a horizo ntal line (eye level) and the line of
sight of the observer when looking at an object that is located lower than the observer.

Line of sight is a line that connects the eye of an observer to the object being observed.

The angle of depression can be found using any of the trigonometric function

LOOK-UP or LOOK-DOWN!
Direction: Determine whether the following statements represent an Angle of Elevation or
Angle of Depression. Raise the arrow up if the statement is representing an Angle of
Elevation, Point the arrow down if the statement represents an Angle of Depression.
______ 1. Two points on the same side of a tree are 19.8 m apart. Their angles to the top of
the tree are 210 from one point and 160 from the other point.
______ 2. The angle of a boy standing from a point on a lighthouse 30.5 m above from the
surface of the water makes an angle of 300 with the sea.
______ 3. A bird sits on top of a 5-meter lamppost. The angle from the bird to the feet of an
observer standing away from the lamppost is 350.
______ 4. A stargazer saw the planet Jupiter at midnight and assumed that his angle to the
planet in the sky is 430.
______ 5. From an airplane at an altitude of 1,200 meters, its angle in connection with a rock
from the ground is 280.
E. Discussing New Concepts and
Practicing New Skills #2 The applications of right triangles in real-life are vast. Hence, it is important that you will be
able to accurately solve the word problems under this lesson. The following steps are
suggested whenever you are solving word problems involving right triangles.

1. Read the problem carefully.

2. Draw a picture based on the information provided by the problem.
3. Label the parts of the triangle formed.
4. Set up trigonometric ratios to be used in solving the unknown.
5. Solve.
6. Answer the question.

Example #1.
From the top of a fire tower, a forest ranger sees his partner on the ground at an angle of
depression of 400. If the tower is 45 feet in height, how far is the partner from the base of the
tower?

Solution:
Draw the picture and label it

Set up trigonometric ratios and solve

tan 400 = 45/x
0.8390 = 45/x
(0.8390) x = 45
x = 45 / 0.8390
x = 53. 6353
x = 53. 64
53.64 ft is the distance of the partner from the base of the tower.

The teacher let the students answer the next example.

Example #2
Michael plants a new tree and attaches a guy wire to help support the tree while its roots take
hold. An eight-foot wire is attached to the tree and to a stake on the ground. From the stake,
 the guy wire makes an angle of 42º with the ground. Find to the nearest tenth of a foot, the
height of the connection point on the tree.

Solution: Let be the height of the connection point on the tree.

The connection point on the tree is 5.4 ft high.

Example #3
From the top of a 196-ft lighthouse, a man observes a ship that is 991 ft offshore. Find the
angle of depression of the ship.

Solution:
Let 𝛉 the angle of depression of the ship from the top of the tower.
196
tan 𝛉 =
991
tan 𝛉 = 0.1978
𝛉 = tan -1 (0.1978)
𝛉 = 11.1887
𝛉 = 110

The angle of depression of the ship from the top of the lighthouse is 11 0.
F. Developing Mastery (Leads to Board Work
Formative Assessment) Direction: Illustrate the following statements and label the parts of the triangle formed.

1. Bon Voyage. From a lighthouse 250 feet above sea level, a ship is spotted with an angle of
depression of 8 degrees. Approximately how far out at sea is the ship?

2. An airplane pilot finds the angle of depression of the airport to be 100. If the altitude of the
airplane at that moment is 15,000 feet, what is the horizontal distance of the plane from the
airport in feet?

3. From the top of an observation tower, the angle of depression of a campfire is 73˚. If the
base of tower is 534 meters from the campfire, how tall is the tower?

4. From the top of a 196-ft lighthouse, a man observes a ship that is 991 ft offshore. Find the
angle of depression of the ship.

5. A squirrel sits at the top a 14-foot-tall tree. He spies a nut on the ground at some distance
away, and his line of sight makes a 74-degree with the tree. How far away is the nut from the
squirrel?

solve.

rather fear not trying.” - Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
In your opinion, what are your experiences that you’ve been down but still you tried to get up to
make things right?
Angle of Elevation - is the angle between a horizontal line from the observer and the line of
sight to an object that is above the horizontal line.
Angle of Depression - is the angle between a horizontal line from the observer and the line of
sight to an object that is below the horizontal line.
