JSS2: Mathematics – Angle of Elevation & Depression

The angle of 55° is a/an

A vertical tower is 20m high from the horizontal ground. The angle of depression of a ball from the top of the tower is 42^o. Calculate the distance, in meters, of the ball from the base of the tower.

The height of the vertical pole is 20m. The angle of elevation of J from L is

The angle of elevation of a point P from Q is 40^o PQ = 4.5km. How high is point P above the level of point Q. Use a suitable scale?

A tower  PQ is 10m high. If the distance from  point R to P is 50m on the ground. Find the angle of elevation of Q from R.

The angle of elevation of the sun is 45^o. A tree has a shadow 12m long. Find the height of the tree.

The angle of elevation of the sun is 27^o. A man is 180cm tall. How long is his shadow? Give your answer to the nearest 10cm.

The angle of elevation of the top of a radio mast from a point 53m from its base on level ground is 61^o. Find the height of the mast to the nearest 5m.

The angle of elevation of the top of  tower from a point 42m away from its base on level ground is 36^o. Find the height of the tower.

From the top of a building 50m high the angle of depression of a car is 55^o. Find the distance of the car from the foot of the building.
