Trigonometry

Today in class we got our multiple choice portion of our test back. We also talked about Accelerated Math. Mr. Maksymchuk went through a bunch of Trigonomerty, since most of us haven't done much of it before. Below are the notes for the day:







TCS OAO=
Two Cats Sit On An Orange And Hold Hands

SOH- Sin= Opposite/Adjacent

CAH- Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

TOA- Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
















Above is a diagram of going 360 degrees around.











This is a question that won't be given to us on an assignment
or test because it doesn't give all the information needed to solve it.










What could TAN be??
TAN can be anything from 0 to infintiy.

* Remember*
If you add up all three degrees in a triangle the sum will be 180 degrees.
a+b+c= 180





Above is information that we should memorize.

Stuff to know:


  • The hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle.

  • The hypotenuse is across from the 90 degree angle.

  • The shape that looks like a fish is call "alpha"

  • The shape that looks like a tylenol is called "theta"


Homework:

What could SIN be?

What could COS be?

Get done Acclerated Math and scan it as soon as you can.
Below is the recording of the notes:
