ANSWERS:
1. Trigonometry
2. Line of sight
3. Angle of elevation
4. Trigonometric ratios
5. Angle of depression
6. Angle of elevation
7. 10m
(Consider a right triangle ABC right angled at B. Take angle C = 30 degree and AC = 20m.Then sin30 = AB/AC =
½ = AB/ 20
AB = 10 m)
8. Angle of depression
9. Angle of elevation
10. 30m
(28.5 + 1.5 = 30)
