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

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.

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...

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...
