HSG.SRT.C.8: Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

What you'll learn

  1. Define what it means to "solve" a right triangle (find all unknown sides and angles)
  2. Use trigonometric ratios to find unknown sides in right triangles
  3. Use inverse trigonometric functions to find unknown angles in right triangles
  4. Use the Pythagorean Theorem in combination with trigonometric ratios
  5. Solve real-world applied problems involving right triangles (angles of elevation/depression, navigation, indirect measurement)
  6. Choose appropriate tools (trig ratios vs. Pythagorean Theorem) based on given information
