The Primary Trigonometric Ratios – Word Problems A. Determining the measures of the sides and angles of right triangles using the primary ratios When we want to measure the height of an “inaccessible” object like a tree, pole, building, or cliff, we can utilize the concepts of trigonometry. To solve such inaccessible heights or depths using trigonometry, the following angle definitions are necessary: Angle of Elevation line of sight horizontal Angle of Depression
