ANGLES OF DEPRESSION:
Looking down from the horizontal gives
an angle of depression. Angle of depression
is measured from the horizontal downwards.
Angles of elevation and depression are in a vertical plane
We can see from the following diagram that the angle of depression given from one location can give us the angle of elevation from the other position using the alternate angle law.

LESSON 2
BEARINGS AND DIRECTIONS
True Bearing
Trigonometry is used to determine directions and to calculate distances. The direction of one object from another in a horizontal plane can be determined by using bearings. The bearings are usually quoted in terms of an angle measured clockwise from North (and sometimes a capital T) and are known as True bearings.
In diagram 1, A is at 5 km from C on a bearing of 56º. This is a bearing of 056ºT. This bearing represents a direction of 56º (always measured in a clockwise direction) from North.
In diagram 2, B is at a distance of 3.3 km from C on a bearing of
310
º T. This is a bearing of 310ºT. This bearing represents a direction of 310º (again measured in a clockwise direction) from North.

Bearing
Compass Bearing
Sometimes bearings are also quoted in terms of an angle measured East or West, or North or South.
In diagram 1, 056ºT could be expressed as N 56º E or E 34º N.
In diagram 2, the bearing 310ºT, can be expressed as W 40º N or N 50º W.
A bearing of N56º E means that you are initially pointing in a Northern direction; you rotate 56º towards the East and then head off in that direction.
A bearing of E34ºN means that you are initially pointing in a Eastern direction; you rotate 34º towards the North and then head off in that direction.

(i)
Draw a diagram to show the bearing we are looking for. To travel directly back to the start, Simon will follow the bearing shown.
The bearing is (180º + a)
a + b = 90º and we can find angle b from the triangle
b = 180º – 90º – 53º8′
= 36º 52′
a = 90º – 36º 52′
= 89º 60′ – 56º 52′
= 53º8′
The bearing is 180º + 53º8’= 233º 8′
Travelling back, Simon has to follow the bearing of 233º T (nearest degree)
(ii)
d is the distance travelled back to the
start. Use Pythagoras’ theorem:
d2 = 62 + 82 = 36 + 64 = 100
d =

Simon has to travel 10 km back to his starting position.

LESSON 4
TRIANGULATION
Have you wondered how the surveyors can measure the distance between two mountains in
the countryside or how we can determine how far is that sail ship in the sea. These two cases
are examples of distances which cannot be measured directly because of physical restrictions. It is not possible to walk straight from one mountain to the next line nor to walk over the water to measure the distance to the ship.
Triangulation is a mathematical technique used to measure such distances. This method involves the use of the theory of solving triangles.
When we can use triangulation
Triangulation can be used in the following situations:
· A single point can be observed but can’t be reached or measured due to physical restrictions.
· Two points can be observed and neither can be reached or measured directly due to physical restrictions.
· Surveying using triangulation involves using a base line of known length and measuring the angles of points of interest (which may be inaccessible) from both ends of the base line
How we can use the triangulation method
In both situations we need to have:
· Two references points from which we can record the bearing of our inaccessible point or points.
· The distance between our two chosen references points.
· The bearing of one of these references points from the other must also be measured.
Example 1
1. Points A and B mark the position of two lighthouses. The lighthouse at A is 20 km north of the light house at B. The light keeper at A sees a ship on a bearing of 1450. The light keeper at B sees the same ship on a bearing of
600
(a) How far is the ship from each light house?
(b) The ship’s captain takes bearings of each light house.
(i) What is the bearing of the lighthouse at A from the ship?
(ii) What is the bearing of the lighthouse at B from the ship?

When dealing with problems that involve bearings, always draw a set of axes at each reference point
�
�
The bearing of A from O is 030º T The bearing of C from O is 210º T
The bearing of B from O is 120º T The bearing of D from O is 300º T

The angle at Mt. Hederick is 25° + 30° = 55°
�
The angle at the first
hut is 90o, hence the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
�
�
�
The bearing of the first hut from the second hut is (270° + a)
Angle a = 90° ( 35° ( 30°
= 90° ( 65° = 25°
The bearing is
270° + 25° = 295°

In this diagram point B is the inaccessible point, but
we know the following:
The distance between A and C.
The bearing of A from C and C from A.
The bearings of B from A and C
With the information above, we can calculate the
Distance AB &AC or even calculate the area of
Triangle ABC
�
In this diagram, we know the following:
The distance between A and B.
The bearing of A from B or of B from A.
The bearings of C and D from A.
The bearings of C and D from B
Points D & C are inaccessible points, but with the
information above, we can calculate distances AD,
AC, BD and BC
