Grades: 9-12

Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.SRT.C.6-8, D.11

Duration to complete: 10-15 minutes

Learning outcome: Students will learn how to use trigonometric identities to solve real-world problems. Students will learn how to choose an identity in order to solve for a particular variable.

Intro for students: What's your sine? Or cosine? Or tangent? Well, if you're an angle in a right triangle, you've got all three, and trigonometry can tell you what they are. In this experience, you'll get a taste of trigonometry and a hunger to learn more.
