M9Ge-Ive-1: Round Off Your Answer To The Nearest Foot
Combining your skills with similar triangles, trigonometry and the Pythagorean Theorem, you are ready
to tackle problems that are connected to more real-world scenarios. The situations you will be examining
will be specifically related to right triangles, and you will be using our three main trigonometric functions.
Once a diagram is established, the mathematical solution will be the same as those shown on solving for
sides or solving for angles.
Examples:
x 59.20 50
x=
tan 410
