Angle of Elevation

The document defines angle of elevation and uses examples to demonstrate how to apply trigonometric ratios to solve problems involving angles of elevation measured from objects above horizontal. It provides examples of calculating heights using the angle of elevation from a point of observation and relating angle of elevation to real-life situations like determining the height of buildings, trees, kites, and bridges above a reference point. Students are given practice problems to solve involving angle of elevation.
