OBLIQUE
TRIANGLE
OBJECTIVES:
NAMING ANGLE OF ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION
Note:
*Angle of elevation and depression always have a horizontal line and line of sight
(diagonal line).
*To identify whether an angle of elevation and depression, check whether the line
of sight is above or below the horizontal line.

ANGLE
EXAMPLE:
1. An observer lying on the top of a vertical cliff spots a house in the adjacent
valley at an angle of depression of 12°. The cliff is 60cm tall. How far is the
house from the base of the cliff?
EXAMPLE:
1. A home owner is to construct a ramp to his front door to make it
wheelchair accessible. How long is the ramp if the door is 4ft. Above the
ground level and the angle of elevation is 20°.
EXAMPLE:
3. The height of an outdoor basketball backboard is 150 inch, and the
backboard casts a shadow 208 inch long. Find the angle of elevation.
