Trigonometry - Solving Triangles - Intro

This math unit begins by establishing foundational skills in identifying trigonometric identities and calculating angles and ratios from descriptions and diagrams. Initially, students focus on understanding basic trig identities, such as sine, cosine, and tangent, progressing into the practical application of these ratios to calculate angles using inverse functions and descriptions in word and arc notation. The unit advances to converting given ratios and angles into trigonometric values, both in decimal and exact forms, emphasized through the use of diagrams which help in visual understanding and approximation. Later, the unit advances to solving for unknown side lengths and angles in various triangles, demonstrating applications in geometry through practical problems. This progression solidifies the student's ability to manipulate and apply trigonometric principles in diverse scenarios, reinforcing comprehensive understanding of trigonometry from theoretical identities to their practical applications in solving geometric problems.Skills you will learn include:

• Working with ratios
• Sin, cos, tan
• Solving triangles with trignometry
