  5. If a student is standing 1000 ft away from the Burj Khalifa Building (2717 ft) find the angle of elevation for which he or she is looking up at the top of the building?

  14. Understanding Check • How does the angle of elevation change as the distance from the base of the building increases? • How does the angle of depression change as the distance as the objected spotted on the ground below? • How does the angle of depression change when the person spots objects further away from the base of the building?

  15. Enrichment How would the angle of depression change if the student moved from the top observation deck to the lower observation deck? How would the angle of depression change if the student were riding on the Eye of London?
