Trig Applicaions! Woohoo!

Tonight, please complete the 6 word problems (4 on the front, 2 on the back) provided in class today. If you lost your handout, you can find the questions below. 

Remember, those "squares" should be degrees symbols. Technology, ya know...

  • First, draw a diagram (some kind of right triangle)
  • Then, determine which trig ratio we should used based on what information is given and what we are looking for
  • Finally, either...
    • Set up a trig ratio and cross multiply to solve for "x" (finding a side length)
    • Use the trig inverse function to solve for "theta" (finding an angle measure)
