Angles of Elevation & Depression — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 10 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angles to the nearest degree. Do not include units.
How to solve
An angle of elevation is measured up from the horizontal; an angle of depression is measured down from the horizontal, and it equals the angle of elevation from the other end (alternate interior angles). Sketch the right triangle, label the known side and the unknown, choose sin, cos or tan, and solve. Use inverse tangent (tan-1) to find an angle.
Example
You stand 14 ft from the base of a flagpole. The angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole is 47°. How tall is the flagpole?
