1. Trigonometry Problem Solving Learning Goals I can calculate the side length given the trigonometry ratios using SOCAHTOA or Pythagorean

2. If you are given the angle and one side length A ramp goes up 3 ft and it makes an angle that is 10° with the ground. How long is the ramp? We have the angle (θ) and the opposite side We are looking for the hypotenuse Soh Cah Toa 10° 3 ft x

3. If you are given the angle and one side length 10° 3 ft x

4. If you are given the angle and one side length A 12 m tall telephone pole has fallen over and is now resting against a building. The telephone pole makes an angle of 42° with the ground. How far away was the building from the telephone pole? 12 m 42° x

5. If you are given the angle and one side length We have the angle (θ) and the hypotenuse side We are looking for the adjacent side Soh Cah Toa 12 m 42° x

6. If you are given the angle and one side length 12 m 42° x

7. If you are given the angle and one side length Han Solo shoots his blaster at an angle 36° from the ground to hit a stormtrooper. The stormtrooper is 4 m above Han’s blaster on a platform. How far away is the stormtrooper? 4 m 36° x

8. If you are given the angle and one side length We have the angle (θ) and the opposite side We are looking for the adjacent side Soh Cah Toa 4 m 36° x

9. If you are given the angle and one side length 4 m 36° x x = 5.51 The stormtrooper was 5.51 m away
