● Greetings
● Tutoring Rules
Review:
Step 1: The tutor will flash a figure.
Step 2: The tutees will identify which figures belong to an
angle of elevation and the tutor will ask why.

Example:
Step 3: The tutor will explain the angle of elevation as the
angle formed between the horizontal line and the line of sight
when looking upwards at an object. The formation of the right
triangle is necessary in solving different angles of elevation
problems because of the application of the trigonometric ratio
SOHCAHTOA.

Step 4: The tutor will show the formula for the three
trigonometric ratio:

𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃 =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡

2. Instructional Input
Step 1: The tutor will present a sample problem to the tutees.

Example:
The line of sight from a small boat to the light at the top of a
35-foot lighthouse built on a cliff 25 feet above the water
makes a 25° angle with the water. To the nearest foot, how
far is the boat from the cliff?

Step 2: The tutor will ask the following:


Is this a problem involving angle of elevation? Why?
What are the known values?
What is being asked?
Draw the diagram.
What SOHCAHTOA identity will be used?

Step 3: The tutees will do what is being asked.


3. Structured Practice
Step 1: The tutor will present a problem and demonstrate on
how to solve the problem step by step with inputs coming
from the tutees.
Case 1: Problem of solving the distance between the objects.
➔ Draw a diagram of the situation.
➔ Label the known (distance, angle etc). (The tutor will
ask the tutees what is/are given.)
➔ Identify what is/are being asked.(The tutor will ask the
tutees what is/are being asked.)
➔ Use the appropriate trigonometric function or any
other formula needed. (The tutor will ask the tutees
what specific trigonometric ratio/s or formula/s are
needed throughout the process and the way of
manipulating the formula to get the answer.)
➔ Provide the answer.

Example:
You are on a long trip through the desert. In the distance, you
can see mountains, and a quick measurement tells you that
the angle between the mountaintop and the ground is 30
degrees. From your studies, you know that one way to define
a mountain is as a pile of land having a height of at least
2500m. If you assume the mountain is the minimum possible
height, how far are you away from the center of the
mountain?
Solution
Diagram:

Given:
𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝜃 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 30 𝑑𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑠
𝐿𝑒𝑡 ℎ 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛 = 2500 𝑚

Unknown:
Let d be the distance from the center of the mountain to the
person = ?

Formula and Solve:


𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 2500 𝑚
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝜃 = =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑑
2500 𝑚
𝑡𝑎𝑛30 =
𝑑
√3 2500 𝑚
=
3 𝑑
√3
𝑑 = 2500𝑚
3
√3
𝑑
3 = 2500𝑚
√3 √3
3 3
2500𝑚
𝑑= ≈ 1441.67 𝑚
√3
3

Therefore, the distance is approximately 1441.67 m.

Step 2: The tutor will present the problems and demonstrate


on how to solve the problem step by step with inputs coming
from the tutees.
Case 2: Problem of solving the height of the object.
Example:
A man, sitting on the ground, finds the angle of elevation of
a bird in the sky to be 40 degrees. The shadow of the bird is
directly below it, and 200 feet away from the man on the
ground. How high is the bird in the sky?
(Same steps in Case 1)

4. Guided Practice
Step 1: The tutor will provide another problem involving
angle of elevation. One problem in solving the distance
between objects and another one problem solving for the
height of the object.

Example:

The corporate office building is 50m high and the angle of


elevation of the top of the building is 52 degrees when seen
from point A on the level ground. What is the distance from
point A to the foot of the building?

A string of a kite is 100m long and it makes an angle of 60


degrees horizontal. Find the height of the kite, assuming that
there is no slack in the string.

Step 2: The tutees will solve the problem step by step:


➔ Draw a diagram of the situation.
➔ Label the known (distance, angle etc).
➔ Identify what is/are being asked.
➔ Use the appropriate trigonometric function or any
other formula needed.
➔ Provide the answer.
The tutor can provide inputs (corrections, comments etc.)
during the process where the tutees solve the problem.

Step 3: The tutor will check the solution and provide inputs.

5. Independent Practice
Step 1: The tutor will give a learning activity sheet consisting
of angle of elevation problems. One problem in solving the
distance between the objects and another one problem in
solving the height of the object.
Problem 1: A firefighter’s ladder leans against a building. The
ladder is 10 m long and makes an angle of 37˚ with the
ground. How high up the building does the ladder reach?

Problem 2: A drone is hovering in the air. From a spot on the


ground, the angle of elevation to the drone is 50°, and the
drone is 150 meters above the ground. How far is the drone
from the observer?

Step 2: The tutees will answer the problems step by step


independently.

Step 3: The tutor will check the answer and provide inputs.
Whoever demonstrates improvement will receive rewards.

Step 4: The tutor can cater clarifications, questions, and


correct misconceptions from tutees.

Assessment: Instructions: Read each problem and solve what is being


asked.

Problem 1: A hot air balloon is flying above the ground. From


a certain point on the ground, the angle of elevation to the
balloon is 35°, and the observer is standing 100 meters away
from the point directly below the balloon. How high is the
balloon above the ground?

Problem 2: A boat is floating in the ocean, and the captain


measures the angle of elevation to the top of a 50-meter
lighthouse to be 30°. How far is the boat from the base of the
lighthouse?
