Your Turn: Pg. 419: 9 – 14, 27 – 32
15
Solving for Side Lengths If given one side and one angle measure, then we can solve for any other side of the triangle. 8 x
16
Solving Right Triangles, cont. 1. Ask yourself what types of sides do you have: opposite, adjacent, and/or hypotenuse? 2. Pick the appropriate trig function to solve for x. 3. Solve for x. 8 x
17
Solving for Side Lengths, cont. 8 x
18
Solving Side Lengths, cont. 14x

Your Turn:
21
Inverse Trigonometric Ratios We can “undo” trig ratios Gives us the angle measurement (theda) Represented by a small –1 in the upper right hand corner Ex. 2 nd button → correct trig ratio
22
Inverse Trigonometric Ratios, cont.
23
Your Turn: Solve for theda Round to nearest hundredth
24
Solving For Angle Measures If given two sides of a triangle, then we can solve for any of the angles of the triangle. 54
25
Solving for Angle Measures, cont. 1. Ask yourself what types of sides do you have: opposite, adjacent, and/or hypotenuse? 2. Pick the appropriate trig function to solve for 3. Solve for using the inverse trigonometric function 54
26
Solving for Angle Measures, cont. 54
27
Your Turn: Complete problems 11 – 16 on the Solving Right Triangles Practice handout
28
Solving Right Triangles We can use two properties of triangles to solve for all the angles and the side lengths of a right triangle.
29
Properties of Triangles Pythagorean Theorem For a right triangle, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Triangle Sum Theorem When you add up all the angles in a triangle, they equal 180°
30
Tricks for Solving Right Triangles Given Two Sides 1. Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for remaining side. 2. Solve for 1 of the angles using trig ratios 3. Solve for the other angle using Triangle Sum Theorem Given an Angle & a Side 1. Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to solve for the other angle 2. Use trig ratios to solve for 1 of the sides 3. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the other side
