Introduction

In previous lessons, we covered how to use trigonometry to find missing angles and missing sides. This lesson will show some applications of trigonometry in mathematics and in physics.

One such application of trigonometry in mathematics is "height and distances". To know about height and distances, we have to start from the most basic part of that, which is "angle of elevation" and "angle of depression".

The first and foremost angle that we are going to study here is the angle of elevation. In this part of height and distances, we will be discussing the angle of elevation in detail.
