Warm-up (YOU NEED YOUR BOOKS TODAY) Find the height of the wall to which the ladder reaches

Objective TLW identify appropriate coordinate systems for solving problems with vectors, apply the Pythagorean theorem and tangent functions to calculate the magnitude and direction of a resultant vector.

Today Outline Practice Problems – Diagram skills – Pythagorean Theorem WS

Objective TLW resolve vectors into components using the sine and cosine functions and add vectors that are perpendicular

Sample Problem A An archaeologist climbs the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. The pyramid’s height is 136m and its width is 2.30x 10 2 m. What is the magnitude and the direction of the displacement of the archaeologist after she has climbed from the bottom of the pyramid to the top?
