EQ: How do we solve right triangles using trig and they Pythagorean Theorem?
Agenda: Warm Up/Check Homework Review Worksheet on solving for angles and
sides Notes on Solving for all missing pieces Real Life Trig Problem Worksheet Making Clinometers
Homework: Finish Word Problem Worksheet
Travis is cleaning out the leaves from his parents gutters and leans a ladder against the house. He knows the ladder is 12 feet long and the base is sitting 6 feet away from the house. Just out of curiosity, Travis wonders if he can find the angle that the ladder makes with the ground. Can he? Show your work for discovering this measure.
Warm Up
Try to use numbers that you did not have to round. (Use what is already there rather than the numbers you found)
If you have to use a rounded number, only use them one at a time.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for one of the sides
In right triangles the two acute angles add up to 90
Things to keep in mind…
Decide which group member is going to be: The Pacer The Recorder The Sighter The Angle Reader
Begin putting your clinometer together
Set Up for Tree Activity
