To find: The suitable parameter for the blank in the sentence “An angle that measure from the horizontal upward to an object is called the angle of _______, whereas an angel measure from the horizontal downward to an object is called the angle of ________”.
Answer to Problem 4E
The blank in the sentence “An angle that measure from the horizontal upward to an object is called the angle of _______, whereas an angel measure from the horizontal downward to an object is called the angle of ________” elevation and depression respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given sentence is “An angle that measure from the horizontal upward to an object is called the angle of _______, whereas an angel measure from the horizontal downward to an object is called the angle of ________”.
Calculation:
In process of solving right triangle. One side of a right triangle and a side are given, and one of the other sides is required to be found, or two sides are given and we are required to find one of the acute angles.
The first angle is the angle of elevation, which represents the angle from the horizontal upward to an object. The second angle is the angle of depression, which is used to represent object that lie below the horizontal.
Therefore, the blank in the sentence “An angle that measure from the horizontal upward to an object is called the angle of _______, whereas an angel measure from the horizontal downward to an object is called the angle of ________”elevation and depression respectively.
