EXAMPLE 1: A boat is at sea and sees the light of a
lighthouse in the distance. The captain knows the
lighthouse is 86m tall. Given his angle of elevation
when looking at the light is 13o, how far away is
the boat from the lighthouse?

EXAMPLE 2: While cleaning a hall, a cleaner spots

a mouse on the floor 12m away. Given the woman
is 1.6m tall, what is her angle of depression?
