Question: Are we supposed to teach special right triangles? I only see this topic as a couple of small tasks, but it is not stated in the standards. Wiki/ Questions
Question: Are we not teaching the tangent ratio anymore? I only see reference to sine and cosine in the standards and tasks. Question: Which trig ratios are we supposed to teach: Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Secant, Cosecant & Cotangent or just Sine, Cosine & Tangent? MCC9-12.G.SRT.6 Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles. MCC9-12.G.SRT.7 Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles. Wiki/ Questions
Question: Didn't students solve Pythagorean Theorem applied problems when they learned the Pythagorean Theorem? 8 th Grade: MCC8.G.6 Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. MCC8.G.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real- world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions. MCC8.G.8 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system. Coordinate Algebra: MCC9-12.G.GPE.7 Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula. Analytic Geometry MCC9-12.G.SRT.4 Prove theorems about triangles…; the Pythagorean Theorem proved using triangle similarity. MCC9-12.G.SRT.8 Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems. Wiki/ Questions
