Soh Cah Toa Performance Task

This document outlines steps for students to work in groups to develop a math word problem involving trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent. The groups will create an original problem about a right triangle with a clear question and full solution. They will then present their question and work to the class. The assignment aims to help students practice applying trigonometry concepts to real-world scenarios.

Soh Cah Toa Performance Task:

Group # _______


As a class, we will be writing our quiz questions for the upcoming quiz on
November 4th, 2014.

Your job for this assignment is to develop a realistic problem involving the basic
Sine, Cosine, and Tangent operations. You will do this in a group of 3-4 students. As
a group, you will develop a thought-provoking question along with a complete,
organized solution. Your final project will be presented at the end of class.

You will be graded from a rubric attached to this assignment. Part of your grade will
come from a self-evaluation that will occur at the end of this task.

Step 1: Find a group. These groups will be pre arranged.

List group members: ________________________________________________________________________

Step 2: Identify as many real-life scenarios that involve triangles as you can in 1
minute.



































Step 3: Develop a question topic based around a right triangle that is realistic, solvable,
and easy to understand. (This does not mean the question is easy, it simply means that
the question is clear, descriptive, and organized).

What will the question ask the reader to find? (There may be 2 things)







Name: ________________________
Step 4: Draw the right triangle represented in this problem. Determine TWO
appropriate, realistic lengths of the triangle. Remember the hypotenuse will
ALWAYS be the longest side.










Step 5: Use Pythagoras Theorem to solve for the missing side length (a2+b2=c2)







Step 6: Solve for the missing angles within your triangle in step 4 using Soh Cah Toa.
Note: You already know one of them is 90o








Step 7: Draw a new triangle, using all of your information from steps 4-6.
Note: ALL side lengths and angles should be labeled with appropriate units.

Name: ________________________
Step 8: Develop the wording for the question. This is where you will write the quiz
question that will be submitted.












Step 9: Develop a COMPLETE solution to your quiz question.
Note: If someone knew absolutely NOTHING about using Soh Cah Toah, they should be able
to follow and understand your solution.



















Step 10: Transfer your question and solution to the large paper provided. Be prepared
to present your question and solution to the class. Make sure that everyone participates in
the presentation.
