These are the types of triangles that trig functions work with.   "What are ________ triangles"

What are right triangles

100

This is the key we need to hit first on the calculator to get an inverse trig ratio

What is the 2ND key

100

What is the Pythagorean theorem? 

a2+b2=c2

200

Συνδέει την υποτείνουσα με την απέναντι κάθετη πλευρά 

Τι είναι το ημίτονο

200

Calculate the value of sin 26 degrees

Sin 26 = 0.438

200

What is the inverse sine of (23.8/29) 

sin^-1(23.8/29)=55 degrees

200

What is the essence of the pythagorean theorem?

The two short sides squared and added together equal the hypotenuse squared.

300

This trig ratio relates opposite and adjacent

What is tangent

300

Using trigonometry, find the value for x:

Cos 37 = adj / hyp

Cos 37 = x / 11

11 Cos 37 = x

x = 8.789

300

In this right triangle 

CAB, m∠A=90°.  Determine m∠B  nearest whole degree when  CB=12.8 and AB=3.9. 



Cos^-1 (3.9/12.8) = 72 degrees

300

Why is Trig a helpful form of math?

You can determine sides and angles that are not able to be measured by devices.

400

comparing two side measures LIKE adjacent over hypotenuse

What is a ratio of side measures

400

Using trigonometry, find the value for x:

Tan 54 = opp / adj

Tan 54 = x / 5

5 times 1.376 = x

x = 6.880m

400

What angle does the rocket have to be launched at to reach the rocket base 300 km above Earth?

Tan θ = 300 / 90

θ = Tan -1 ( 300 / 90 )

θ = 73 degrees

400

Solve for the missing side.

x = 10

500

The function used to solve for the missing angle

Inverse trig functions (inverse sine, inverse cosine, inverse tangent) 

500

Using trigonometry, calculate the value for x:

Sin 28 = opp / hyp

Sin 28 = x / 50

50 times .469 = x

x = 23.450m

500

In right triangle ADC, m∠D=90° and AD=5.6, AC=8.4.   What is the number of degrees in the angle of depression to the nearest tenth? 

sin^-1(5.6/8.4) = 41.8 degrees

500

Find BOTH missing angles and the missing side.

Angle Z is the right angle.

Missing side = 29 cm or 28.777cm if you used trig.

Angle X = 44 degrees

Angle Y = 46 degrees
