March 15th, 2019

Bellwork reviewed using Sin, Cos, and Tan to find missing sides and angles in right triangles.

The remainder of the period we discussed what it means to “solve a triangle” and practiced these types of problems (Sec 14-3). We also began our discussion on real-world problems involving right triangle trigonometry (Sec 14-3), real-world problems involving angles of elevation and depression and right triangle trigonometry, i.e., story problems (Sec 14-3).

Hwk #14 was made available to the students.

Practice Sheet:  Sec 14-3

Due date:  still to be determined.
