Excellent class! In this
problem, what particular
trigonometric ratio did you
used? We used sine ratio to solve
the problem.
Why sine ratio?
Because sir, the given is an
angle in A, and the
hypotenuse, and a missing
measure is the opposite.
Very good.
So, so far what are the
given? The given are: a=4.02 cm,
c=10cm, <A=35°and <C=90°.

Now, you may find the

measures of b and angle B.

<B+125°-125°=180°-125°
<B=55°

In this, what trigonometric

Okay. How about in solving
the problem, group 1, what
formula did you used to
get the height of the
flagpole? We used tangent ratio to
answer the problem.
Why tangent ratio?
Because given in the problems
are the measure of an acute
angle and one of the triangle’s
leg which either the adjacent
or opposite leg.
What do you call the side
where the flagpole
represents? Opposite side, sir.

What did you do to the

height of the observer on We add the height of the

object solved.

Very good. Group 2, what

formula did you use to We used cosine ratio to find
solve the problem? the distance from the bird to
the top of the tree.

Nice. So, what do you call

the side that represents
the distance of the bird
from the tree? Adjacent side, sir.

Very well said.

Group 3, what formula did
you used to find the angle
of elevation from the car? Sine ratio, sir.

How did you solve the

angle? We substitute the given height
of the building which is the
opposite side and also the
diagonal distance of the car to
the top of the building. Then,
we find the angle.
Excellent! The formula
used in your activity is the:

Where the symbol 𝚹

represents the angle, a
represents the opposite
side, and b represents the
adjacent side and c is the
hypotenuse.

In finding the height of an

object given the observer’s
height, adding its height to
the objects is necessary.
Why is it so? It must be added because, the
measure of an object do not
start at the line of sight of the
observer, but to the
base/ground.
Very good. In group 1, the
solution is:

Angle of elevation= 48°

Observer’s height= 5.5 ft. opposite (a)

a= 16.66 ft.

Therefore, the height of the

flagpole is 22.16 feet.
In group 1, can we

36.92 feet and that is
correct.
So, what did you learn
from the problem?
I learned that Angles of
elevation can be used in real
life and solve problems like
Nice one. Ganda’s.

Now let’s have a

short recap about our topic
for today.

What is the
trigonometric ratio we
used to determine the
opposite side, adjacent
side and angle of
elevation? Any of the trigonometric
ratios, sir.
Very good. If the
height of the observer is
given what will you do to
determine the height of
the object observed? Used the tangent ratio to find
the height of the object and
add the height of the observer
to the result.
What if the angle
of elevation is to be
determined, do we need to No sir, because we can also
use only tangent ratio? use others depending on the
problem.
Good. Again, what is angle
of elevation? Angle of elevation is the angle
from horizontal to the line of
sight of the observer to the
object above.
Where can we
apply the concept of
trigonometric ratios
 involving angle of In sailing sir. Also we can apply
elevation? that in finding the height of
tall objects.

Nice one! It shows that you

learned a lot in this lesson.
