We use trig ratios! (SOH-CAH-TOA)
One method, use what we know —_ BUT need to solve for AOD. Use right angle.
of complementary angles. sor=7ass@A00!
[Sone]
90° = 15.47°-x AOD = 15.47"
(See) x= 74,53
HOW DO WE CALCULATE THESE ANGLE MEASURES?
15.47° = 15.47°
These angles are alternate interior angles-~
their measures are equall
So knowing one means that you know the other.Practice
Let's say Siri tells us that Delta Flight 1584 is 31,000 feet in the air and
that the slant from you to the plane is 23 miles (so 121,440 feet) long.
‘What is the angle of elevation from you to the plane?
121,440
Use Sin (SOH)
