After going through this module, you are expected to illustrate
angle of elevation and angle of depression. (M9GE-IVd-1) STEPS IN SOLVING WORD PROBLEM:
Word Problems Involving Angle of Elevation and Depression
From the previous module, you have illustrated the angle of
elevation and depression and used trigonometric ratios to find
the other parts of a right triangle. This time let’s check your prior
knowledge.
ACTIVITY 1 DRAW IT!
DIRECTIONS: Draw the line of sight to the birds then identify if
the angle formed is an angle of elevation or an angle of
depression. Then, answer the problem on a separate sheet of
paper.
You have just learned how to draw pictures presented by the

information in the given problems. Using this skill, you can now
practice illustrating a word problem and solving problems
involving angle of elevation and depression.
SAQ 1: How do you identify the appropriate trigonometric ratio
