Welp i never study this concept of finding specific angles I don't have idea if am wording right the name of theory or the concept
Please don't do that. Rather, explain how the person who asked can get to the solution themselves.
okay, so lets do a quick checklist
do you know how to draw out this diagram?
do you know which angle is the elevation/depression angle?
ddo you know how to solve the question once you have all the relevant lengths?
we can explain each step there to ya
All of my answers are no
I was absent and my teacher doesnt want to repeat the lesson
We've just finished solving the right triangles
first thing to note is that "angle of elevation/depression" is measured from the horizonal
so if we put all the information given in question 1 into a diagram, it will look like this
you wish to know the height of the tower - hopefully you can solve it from here
How to know if it's elevation or depression?
the question will generally tell you
how to find very specific angles? such as 3 deg, 37 deg, 34 deg etc which topic is this in trigo?
