1st Hour ­ Be seated and wait for the sub to pass out your worksheet. FIRST complete the worksheet, front and back (by yourself). You do not have a "table of tangents, cosines or sines". Use a calculator and the answers on the worksheet are approximated and use a PENCIL to color in the answers.
When you are done, please turn in the worksheet and copy the following notes in your notebook. Title "7.6 Angle of Elevation/Depression".
Angle of elevation ­ "looking up at an object"
Angle of depression ­ " looking down at an object"
Drawing the situations
Ex: A skateboard ramp has an angle of elevation of 26 degrees and the ramp reaches 14 feet above the ground. Ex: You are skiing down a mountain with an altitude of 1200 meters. The angle of depression is 21 degrees. How far do you ski down the mountain? Jan 15­7:34 AM
