Topics in Applications of Trigonometry

1

Core ideas and basic terms

  • The line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of an observer to a point on the object being viewed.
  • The angle of elevation is the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal line when the object is above the horizontal level.
  • The angle of depression is the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal line when the object is below the horizontal level.
2

One-triangle problems and worked examples

  • Example-4 uses tangent to find the height of a pole from an angle of elevation of 60° and a distance of 8 m.
  • Example-5 uses sine to find the distance of a person from Rajender in a helicopter problem.
  • The correct ratio depends on which sides are known and which side is required.
3

Two-triangle problems and worked examples

  • Two-triangle problems compare measurements from two observation points.
  • The palm tree problem uses two right triangles with angles 45° and 30°.
  • The temple problem uses two observers on opposite sides of a 30 m temple.
4

Important solved results and facts to remember

  • In Example-4, the boy observes the pole top at 60° from 8 m away, giving height 8√3 m.
  • In Example-5, the distance of the person from Rajender is 500√2 m.
  • In the palm tree problem with AB = 11 m and angles 30° and 45°, the height is 11/(√3-1) m.
