That’s correct. Our lesson for
today is about The Angle of
Elevation.

D. Lesson Proper

Before we start our discussion, I

have a question for you.

Who is your favorite basketball

player? (The students will share who is their
favorite basketball players.)
Let me introduce you to my friend
here. Yes, Ma’am.
Are you familiar with him? He is Sakuragi Ma’am.
Who is he?

3
 Correct, he is Sakuragi.

Did you know who is the “Pinoy

Sakuragi” in PBA?
Yes, Ma’am. He is Marc Pingris.
Yes, JC?

Very Good.

SPORTS TRIVIA:

Marc Pingris is a Filipino

basketball player and he is well-
known as Pinoy Sakuragi

Let’s go back to Sakuragi.

Now, Sakuragi will help us to
understand our lesson for today.

Let’s start. First, let us define the

angle of elevation.

Can someone read the definition?

Yes Emelyn?
(Emelyn will read the definition)

Angle of Elevation

It is an angle that is formed

between the horizontal line of sight
from the observer and the line of
sight of an object that is above the
horizontal line of sight.

Based on the given information,

what is your understanding about
the angle of elevation.

Yes, Jake? (Jake will share his understanding about

angle of elevation)

4
 Right! you may sit down.

To understand more about angle

of elevation, let us dissect and
elaborate the important keywords
from its definition.

The first highlighted word is angle.

Based on what we talk about
earlier, what is your definition of an
angle?

Yes, Reid? An angle is a union of two rays that are

connected with a common endpoint.
Correct. Remember class, if there
are two straight lines meet at a
common point is said to form an
angle.

Here are some examples of an

angle.

Alright, our next highlighted word is

the horizontal line.

For you, what is your idea of

horizontal line? A horizontal line is a line extending from
left to right.
That’s correct.

Horizontal line is a straight line that

is drawn from left to right or right to
left.

Let’s have an example.

x- axis is an example of horizontal
line

Another example, look at Sakuragi,

he is looking straight to his ultimate
crush, Haruko. If you put an
imaginary line between their eyes,
that is horizontal line.

5
 Ace and Angelica, come here at
the front.
Look at each other’s eyes.
Class, what imaginary line did it
formed when they look into each
other’s eyes? Horizontal line Ma’am.

So, remember that when you look

straight, that is the horizontal line.

In worded problems, it also usually

refers to the distance of one point
to another. Let’s find it out later.

Next highlighted word is line of

sight and above. Let us first define
the line of sight.

Line of sight- It is the imaginary

line between the observer’s eye
and the object that is being
observed.

Sakuragi needs to look at the

basketball ring in able to shoot the
ball.
Remember that he is looking up in
able to see the basketball ring.
So, we have the observer and the
object.
Based on our illustration, who is
our observer? Sakuragi.
What is our object? The basketball ring.
Very Good. If we connect those
two. That is the line of sight.

Always remember that in angle of

elevation, the line of sight is
always above the eye level.

Again, what are the two lines that

6
 we have discussed?
Yes,KC? Horizontal line and line of sight.

That’s right. The horizontal line

and line of sight formed an angle
of elevation.

If we draw a vertical line

connecting the horizontal line and
the line of sight, what did it It formed a right triangle.
formed?

Always remember that angle of

elevation is always above the eye
level.

Look around and observe our

classroom.

Inside the classroom, are there

objects or persons that whenever
you look up at that specific person
or object, there’s an angle formed?

Anyone?

Yes, Nicole? When we look on the ceiling fan.

That’s correct.

Other examples? When we are listening to the teacher.

Yes, Ace?

You are right.

Other examples are when the kids
are looking at the top of the tree,
when we are star gazing at night,
whenever we are singing the
national anthem in flag ceremony
and more other examples.

Now, it’s your time to give more

7
 examples that relates to angle of
elevation for a certain place or
situation that will flash on the
screen.

Do you understand?
Yes, Ma’am.
Examples:

Okay, give the situation where

there is angle of elevation in:

1. In Enriquez Park

Correct. During Christmas, we

used to go to Enriquez Park to look When the people are looking at the
at the beautiful Christmas tree Christmas tree.
there.

2. In Jollibee

When we are staring at the menu.

All of your answers are correct.

There is an angle of elevation
every time we are looking at their
menu and when we are looking at
the beautiful smiling face of
Jollibee up there.

It seems that you really understand

the concept of the angle of
elevation.
Let us proceed to real-world
problems.

Example 1:

8
 Sakuragi is about to shoot the ball
from the free-throw line. The
distance from the free throw line to
the base of the backboard is 15 ft.
and the angle of elevation from the
top of the backboard to Sakuragi’s
eyes is 21°. Can we help Sakuragi
to shoot the ball by identifying the
horizontal line, line of sight, and
angle of elevation?

First, we should analyze and

understand the problem.
Here is Sakuragi and there is a
backboard and basketball ring.
Second is to visualize the concept
of the problem.
We should identify what is the
distance of the free throw line to
the backboard and the angle of
elevation
Third is we illustrate. We should
create or draw the things that we
visualized.

Let’s apply the concept of angle of

elevation.
What do you think represents the
horizontal line in the problem?

Yes, John?
It is the distance between the free throw
Correct, that is the distance of free line and the base of the backboard.
throw line to the backboard which
is 15 feet.

What represents the line of sight?

Yes, Kenneth?
The representation of line of sight is
What represents the angle of Sakuragi looking at the top of the
elevation? backboard

9
 Yes, Trixia?

Very Good. The angle of elevation It is the 21° angle between the top of the
measures 21°. backboard and Sakuragi’s eyes.

Example 2:
A kite is flying at an angle of
elevation of 55° with the ground. If
85 ft string have been paid out to
the kite. How far is the kite above
the ground?

Based on the given illustration,

answer the following questions:

Given:
a. What represents the horizontal
line? (The students will recite their answers)
b. What represents the line of
sight? a. The ground
c. What represents the angle of b. The string of the kite which is 85 ft
elevation c. The angle between the string of the kite
d. What is being asked in the and the ground which is 55 °
problem? d. The distance of the kite above the
ground
That’s great.

Do you have any questions about

our topic for today?
No, Ma’am.

E. Application

Let’s have a group activity. We will

apply the things that we’ve
discussed. Listen carefully to my
instructions.

We will have four groups and there

will be two sets of problem, Set A
and Set B. Each group will be
given a task about angle of
elevation that you will need to
