Angle of Elevation and Depression Worksheet 2 Name: ________________

Draw a picture to represent each situation, then use angles of elevation or depression to find
the missing value.

1. At a point on the ground 50 feet from the front of a tree, the angle of elevation to the top
of the tree is 48 . Find the height of the tree.

2. A ladder is leaning against a wall. The foot of the ladder is 6.5 feet from the wall. The
ladder makes an angle of 74 with the level ground. How high on the wall does the ladder
reach?

3. A wooden beam 24 feet long leans against a wall and makes and angle of 71 with the
ground. How high up the wall does the beam reach?

4. A plane took off from a field and rose at an angle of 8 with the horizontal ground. As the
plane flies over a water tower, it has covered a distance from the take off point of 2000
feet. How far apart are the take off point and the water tower?

5. A 20 foot ladder leans against a building and makes an angle of 72 with the ground. Find
the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building.

6. A straight road to the top of a hill is 2500 feet long and makes an angle of 12 with the
horizontal. Find the height of the hill.
7. Find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sun when a boy 5 feet tall casts a shadow
5 feet long.

8. Find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sun when a vertical post 15 feet tall
casts a shadow 20 feet long.

9. After takeoff, a plane flies in a straight line for a distance of 4000 feet in order to gain
an altitude of 800 feet. Find the angle of elevation from the ground to the plane.

10. A 40 foot ladder which is leaning against a wall reaches the wall at a point 36 feet above
the ground. Find the measure of the angle created between the ladder and the ground.
