What's Going On? February 17th through February 21st

Unit 8: Solving for Missing Measures in Triangles

This week, we will continue our study of triangles.  We will start off the week by investigating the properties of "special right triangles".  We will use the pattern relationships that exist within Isosceles Right Triangles (45-45-90) and 30-60-90 triangles in order to solve for missing measures.




Later in the week, we will dive into some right triangle trigonometry ratios.  Students will learn how to use the ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent in order to solve for missing side lengths and missing angle measures in right triangles.  To make sure that we are starting this unit on the right foot, students will complete a formative assessment or two.
