Right Triangle Trigonometry: Math Unit 5, Grade 10 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Right Triangle Trigonometry is Unit 5 of Geometry: Structure, Proof, and Measurement (Grade 10), the Letters & Devotion Math course, complete in one printable PDF: 9 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 71 pages.

• Invariance of the opposite/hypotenuse ratio across similar right triangles
• Definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent as side ratios
• Solving for an unknown side using a selected trig ratio
• Using inverse trigonometric functions to find an angle measure
• Diagramming angle of elevation and angle of depression problems
• The complementary angle identity sin(theta) = cos(90-theta)
• Justifying ratio choice by naming the similar-triangle relationship in an indirect-measurement context
• Extending right-triangle trig to a non-right-triangle context via an constructed altitude
• Equivalence of the similarity-proportion method and the trig-ratio method for indirect measurement

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
