  1. SOLVING RIGHT TRIANGLES • We will be given information about a triangle and then have to find the remaining sides and angles. • We will develop new ways to find the area of triangles. • We will apply the law of sines and law of cosines.

  2. SOH CAH TOA PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

  3. SOH CAH TOA B Find: c, B,C a = 29 c C A b = 21

  4. Application Problems: A rhombus with a perimeter of 40 cm has a 70 degree angle. Find the lengths of the diagonals. • What you know about a rhombus: • The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other • The diagonals bisect the angles • All sides are congruent

  5. Application Problems: Find the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle whose whose shortest legs are 8 in. and 12 in.

  6. ANGLES OF ELEVATION x Angles of elevation are always from the horizontal line of sight!

  7. ANGLES OF DEPRESSION x Angles of depression are always from the horizontal line of sight!

  8. I look out of a building and see a bird flying above a tree with a 10 degree angle of elevation. The tree is 30 feet away. If I am 30 feet above the ground, how high is the bird?

  9. A lighthouse keeper notices a ship with a 5 degree angle of depression. If the lighthouse keeper is 25 meters above sea level, how far away is the ship?

  10. An isosceles trapezoid has sides with lengths in a ratio of 6:10:6:14. Find the measure of the angle between a leg and the shorter base.
