I. OBJECTIVE
At the end of a 60-minute period, the Grade Nine students will be able to describe, illustrate
and solve problems involving angle of elevation and angle of depression with 75%
proficiency level.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
ANGLE OF ELEVATION AND ANGLE OF DEPRESSION
A. Reference
Algebra Two with Trigonometry by Foster, Ruth, and Winters
B. Materials
Visual aid, board, chalk and calculator
C. Ideas
The angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight of the observer
to the object above.
The angle of depression is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight of the
observer to the object below.
D. Processes
Describing, illustrating, solving
E. Values
Active participation, cooperation, collaboration and thinking
III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Checking of the attendance
3. Checking of the assignment
4. Review of the past lesson
5. Drill/Exercise
B. Motivation
Group Activity on Angles of Elevation and Depression
C. Lesson Proper
TEACHER ACTIVITY STUDENT ACTIVITY
Our topic for today is about angle of elevation
and angle of depression.
Problem No.1
An observer looks up at an angle of 40° looking
at the top of a tower. The tower is 300ft away The student will follow.
measured along the ground. What is the height
of the tower?

Very Good!
D. Generalization
What is an angle of elevation?
What is an angle of depression?
E. Application
Right now, let’s have an activity. Please count off from1-4 starting from you. Group 1
please stand up know your group mates and occupy in that area, similar with 2 on that
area, 3 on that area and 4 on that area.
1
Answer the following questions in a 2 sheet of paper.
1. In the diagram below, AB and CD are two vertical poles on horizontal ground. Draw
in the angle of elevation of D from B and the angle of depression of C from B.
2. An observer looks up at an angle of 40˚ looking at the top of a tower. The tower is
200 ft. away from the observer. What is the height of the tower?

V. ASSIGNMENT
Illustrate and solve the following questions.
1. Two poles on horizontal ground are 60 m apart. The shorter pole is 3 m high. The angle
of depression of the top of the shorter pole from the top of the longer pole is 20˚. Sketch a
diagram to represent the situation.
2. A kite held by 100 m of string makes an angle elevation with the ground of about 50°,
how high is the kite above the ground?
3. From the top of a vertical cliff 50 m high, the angle of depression of an object that is level
with the base of the cliff is 65º. How far is the object from the base of the cliff?
