objectives

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


• illustrating angle of elevation and angle of depression;
• distinguish between angle of elevation and angle of depression;
• recognize which angle represents an angle of depression and
which angle represents an angle of elevation; and
• sketch a diagram from a real-world problem involving an angle of
elevation or depression and use this to help solve the problem.
