[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Find distance using right triangles and angles of elevation or depression.

Learn what the terms angle of elevation and angle of depression mean. The words may be big but their meaning is pretty basic!

Explains the terminology for angles of elevation, depression, inclination, and declination. Demonstrates how to 'translate' exercises into triangles and equations.

Learners explore applications of inverse functions. Topics investigated are angle of elevation, range, and right circular cones. The activity includes examples on uses of inverse functions in real situations with detailed solutions.

Explains what "tangent" is and its role in the right triangle. Slope of a line is investigated and tangent for special common angles is given. Angle of elevation and angle of depression are also covered here.

Instructions for building a clinometer are given on this page. Clinometers can be used to measure the angle of elevation of a right triangle, and in turn find the height of large objects.

Solving real life problem using trig ratios. Example: Finding the angle of elevation or the angle of depression. Finding the angle between two lines. Finding equation of a line that passes through two points.

Learn how to "solve" a right triangle and apply the concept to real world situations using angles of elevation and depression.

The online assessment demonstrates knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts in Algebra II. The questions test students on the application of trigonometric functions.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this activity is a very basic introduction to the tangent function and it's applications (such as measuring distances). Through this lesson, students will learn the definition of the tangent...

Offers instructions in how to use a clinometer, an instrument used by foresters for measuring angles in order to determine the height of a tree. The mathematics behind a clinometer is also explained.

Explains step by step, supported by pictures, how to use a clinometer to measure the height of a tall object.

An introduction to all six trigonometric function in the setting of right triangles. This tutorial begins with the six definitions and goes through applications involving angles of elevation and angles of depression. Includes several...
