Our work with right triangles focused on how to solve right triangles today. We went through how to determine all the side lengths and all the angle measurements in any right triangle in which we are given three pieces of information. We went through a few examples together of these types of problems. We also introduced how to work through trig application problems. These word problems involved setting up a problem from a given description and drawing a triangle that we can use. We went over how to work with angles of depression, angles of elevation, and % grades of roads. After a few of these examples, the students then got started on their assignment.
