(The teacher will play the situation.)

B. Establishing Purpose of the Lesson

 In an airport, two people who are close friends are working there. One is a pilot and the other one is an air traffic
controller. One day, a pilot is assigned to fly an airplane, and they will arrive to their destination by night. When the
time to land came, a sudden problem occurs, the airport has a circuit problem wherein the landing area lights are
affected. The pilot cannot see the right place to land because it is too dark. He called his friend, the air traffic controller
for a help. They only know the altitude of the airplane from the ground. If you were the air traffic controller, what
advise can you give to the pilot in order for him to land the plane safely?

Is there any mathematical concept they would use to help them?

Yes, there is. It is the concept of angle of elevation and angle of depression, which will be our topic for today.

“Identify Me”

 The angle of depression is the angle from the line of sight of the observer to the object below.

The angle of elevation is always above the line of sight and the angle of depression is below the line of sight.

Remember that the angle measure will always start from the horizontal sight of the observer to the object.

“Who Am I?”
Identify whether <a is an angle of elevation or angle of depression.

hill is 12°. How far is the boat from the base of the hill? the foot of the ladder makes an angle of 68° with the ground,
how far is the base of the ladder from the wall?
Question 3 Question 4
