1 Trigonometry Section 3 – Solve Application Problems using Right Triangle Trigonometry

2 Applications Measuring inaccessible lengths Height of a building (tree, tower, etc.) Width of a river (canyon, etc.)

3 Terminology Angle of Elevation  A

4 Terminology Angle of Depression  A

5 Application: Height To establish the height of a building, a person walks 120 ft away from the building. At that point an angle of elevation of 32  is formed when looking at the top of the building. Example 1 of 4

6 Application: Height  32  120 ft h = ? Example 1 of 4 H = 74.98 ft To establish the height of a building, a person walks 120 ft away from the building. At that point an angle of elevation of 32  is formed when looking at the top of the building.

7 Application: Height  68  h = ? 55 ft Example 2 of 4 H = 136.1 ft An observer on top of a hill measures an angle of depression of 68  when looking at a truck parked in the valley below. If the truck is 55 ft from the base of the hill, how high is the hill?

8 Surveying

9 Application: Surveying ? 70 ft 37  Example 3 of 4 D = 52.7 ft

10 Application: Surveying Road has a grade of 5.5%. Convert this to an angle expressed in degrees.  100 ft 5.5 ft ?  Example 4 of 4 A = 3.1 

11 Practice Set 17 Pages 59-61

12 Trigonometry - Section 3 Solving problems with no right triangles.

13 Review

14 Example 1 Determine the height of this isosceles triangle. 40  15 ft height = ? h = 6.3 ft

15 Example 2 Determine the length of side x in this equilateral triangle. height = 48 ” x x = 55.4 ”

16 Practice Set 18 Page 64 - 65

17 Trigonometry – Section 3 Additional Technical Applications

18 Application 1 Determine the depth d of the groove machined in this steel block. 82  d 3”3” 1.1 ” d = 0.46 ” 0.8 ” 41  0.4 ” 41  d 0.4 ”

19 Application 2 Determine the total length of steel needed to make this frame. 11 ft 35  h = 3.85 ft, Total = 11 ft + 6.7 ft + 6.7 ft + 3.85 ft = 28.25 ft

20 Application 3 Determine the taper angle of this steel shaft. t 145 mm 40 mm 22 mm A  t = 7.1 

21 Application 4 The diagram shows a bolt circle. Determine the distance x between the centers of any two bolt hole locations. + + + + x radius 2.4 ”

22 Application 4 + + + + x radius 2.4 ” x =4.16 ”

23 Terminology: Tangent Tangent Line tangent line tangent point

24 Property + 90  radius + +

25 Angle outside a circle + 34  17 

26 Putting it all together + 40  20  1.4 ft dia. 0.7 ft radius 0.7 ft 20 

27 Example: Illustration + 64  0.8 ” dia. 0.4 ” 32 

28 Example: Illustration 36  0.5 ” dia. + 0.25 ” 18 

29 Example: Solve A gauge pin is placed in a machined groove as shown. Determine the length of dimension x. + 32  8 mm dia. x

30 Example: Solve + 8 mm dia. 32  x x = 6.4 mm + 4 mm = 10.4 mm
