Vocab you need to know for this lesson: Right triangle- a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90 degree angle) hypotenuse- the longest side of a right triangle (the side opposite the right angle) opposite- the side of a right triangle opposed to (opposite) the given angle adjacent- the side of a right triangle next to (adjacent) the given angle. sine, cosine, and tangent- trigonometric functions used to determine the value of an unknown angle of a right triangle.
We will watch the first two minutes of this video to review these terms and the rest of the video provide an introduction to SohCahToa and will give a couple of example problems.
After reviewing this vocab and watching this video, I will be asking students questions to make sure they understand the basic vocabulary needed to start the lesson.
