Situation No. 1
In Lobo, Batangas, there is a historical Malabrigo Lighthouse which
serves as guide for ship/boat navigation. Sketch the angle form from the
lighthouse to the ship.
Situation No. 2
In the province of Camiguin, there is a popular Mt. Hibok-hibok. A boy is
on top of that mountain. He is looking at the house from a distant of the base
of the mountain. How will you represent the angle form from the line of sight
of the boy to the house?
Situation No. 3
Flying of kite is one of the favorite afternoon outdoor activity of Filipino
children during windy days. Rico is playing his kite. Illustrate the angle form
from his eyesight to the kite.
Situation No. 4
Illustrate the angle form of the airplane from Ninoy Aquino International
Airport as it start to ascend to its flight.

NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Situation No. 5
Maya is one of the commonly observed birds in the Philippines. This bird
is on top a lamp post. Sketch the angle form from the bird to the ground.

LET’S DIG DEEPER!
1. How did you identify the line of sight, angle of
elevation and angle of depression?

2. What ideas have you learned from this

activity?

3. Do you think you can use these ideas

in your daily life?

4. Give and illustrate at least two situations

in your life involving angle of elevation
and angle of depression.

2. The angle of depression of a boy from a point on a
lighthouse 20.5 meters above the surface of the water is 5.
 
3. If an airplane that is cruising at an altitude of 10 km wants
to land at NAIA, it must begin its descent so that the angle
of depression to the airport is 9.
 
4. A bird sits on top of a 3-meter lamp post. The angle of
depression from the bird to the feet of an observer standing
away from the lamp post is 45.
 
5. Two points on the same side of a tree are 20.8 meters
apart. The angles of elevation of the top of the tree are 21
from one point and 16 from the other point.

Ruler, protractor, and drawing materials, cellphone,
improvised clinometer, measuring device.
Directions:
1. Look for a partner.
2. Capture anything that can be seen around your area.
Look up and down to find an object that illustrates angle
of elevation and depression and make a pose. Using the
clinometer, determine the angle of elevation/ depression
from the eye of the observer to that object and your
distance from that object. Ask your partner to help you
record the findings. Don’t forget to take pictures for
documentation.
