Draw a PictureWhen solving math problems, it can be very helpful to draw a picture of the situation if none is given.
Here is an example.
Find the missing sides and angles for Triangle FRY. Given that angle Y is the right angle, YR = 68, and FR = 88.

Depression and Elevation
If a person on the ground looks up to the top of a building, the angle formed between the line of sight and the horizontal is called the angle of elevation.
If a person standing on the top of a building looks down at a car on the ground, the angle formed between the line of sight and the horizontal is called the angle of depression.
