Day 7: Apply Law of Sines. http://www.classzone.com/eservices/home/pdf/student/LA213EAD.pdf Grade: 9 Content: Mathematics-Algebra II Materials: pencil, paper, whiteboard and markers, projector of some sort, student’s unit circles Time: 50 minutes Standards HS.GSRT.11 (+) Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurements in right and non-right triangles (e.g., surveying problems, resultant forces). Objectives 1. Students will be able to determine whether a triangle that is not right can be solved given AAS, ASA, or SSA. 2. Students will apply the Law of Sines to solve for a triangle. Learning Activities 1. Attention Grabber: What kind of triangles have we been able to solve for? (right triangles). We can solve a triangle without a right angle as long as we know three parts: Two angles and any side (AAS or ASA); Two sides and an angle opposite one of them (SSA); Three sides (SSS);Two sides and their included angle (SAS) 2. We will be looking at the first two cases today. 3. Ask the class to think about what they think it means to have a triangle with AAS, ASA, or SSA. Have the students write this down on a separate sheet of paper, they should be encouraged to draw pictures. Students should collaborate after about a minute, will be turned in at the end of class for participation points. 4. Law of Sines. Have the students draw on the board some triangles that have this scenarios. 5. Ask the class to solve the following triangle. 6. Students should solve triangle ABC with C = 103°, B = 28°, and b = 26 feet with partners. Students are should use white boards within pairs to solve together. Be sure that they take pictures to have in notes. Answers: a ≈ 41.8 feet, c ≈ 54.0 feet, A= 49˚ 7. Activity. Solve Triangle ABC with a = 4 inches, b = 2.5 inches, and B = 58°, but students should get a piece of paper to draw this accurately, and this should be done with pairs. Students individually should write a reflection on the back of the paper and explain what they noticed. This will be turned in along with work done as pairs. 8. Extension: A word problem. Assessment Formal: The little project, and text book assignment (will not be due next day but day 9). P. 803 # 21-31 odd, 37, 38, 47, 48, 56 Informal: Participation that is collected on the Excel sheet. Reflection Day 8: Apply Law of Sines. Grade: 9 Content: Mathematics-Algebra II Materials: pencil, paper, whiteboard and markers, projector of some sort, student’s unit circles Time: 50 minutes Standards HS.GSRT.11 (+) Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurements in right and non-right triangles (e.g., surveying problems, resultant forces). Objectives 1. Students will be able to apply the Law of Sines in real world examples. 2. Students will be able to find the area of a triangle that is not right using the Law of Sines. Learning Activities 1. Attention Grabber: The class writes on the board the problems they have questions on, from their homework. Students that know how to solve them go to the board and explain their process to the class. Teacher gives input when needed. 2. Word problem: At certain times during the year, you can see Venus in the morning sky. The distance between Venus and the sun is approximately 67 million miles. The distance between Earth and the sun is approximately 93 million miles. Estimate the distance between Venus and Earth if the observed angle between the sun and Venus is 34°. Students should first work independently and then collaborate. When it looks like most are getting it, go back to a class discussion. 3. Finding the area of a triangle that is not right, using the Law of Sines. The area of any triangle is given by one half the product of the lengths of two sides times the sine of their included angle. For triangle ABC shown, there are three ways to calculate the area: Area = 1/2 bc sin A; Area = 1/2 ac sin B Area = 1 2 ab sin C 4. Have the class find the area of the following triangle. First let the students look at the problem independently and then finish it as a class. 5. Extension: For those ready to move on, otherwise the rest of class will go over questions. You are buying the triangular piece of land shown. The price of the land is $2000 per acre (1 acre = 4840 square yards). How much does the land cost? 6. Introduction of the real world assignment due on Review day. They can either find an article that has trigonometry in it and write a summary, take a picture of a triangle that is found in the real world and label the sides and angles, they can explain their own word problem through a Jing video, or anything else that must be okayed by me. It will be graded as being worth two homework assignments. If there is thought put into it they will get full credit, if little thought is put into but they did do it they will get half credit. Assessment Formal: Textbook assignment and project. Informal: Participation that is collected on the Excel sheet. Ticket to leave of their extension either a question they had answered or the word problem answered. Reflection Resources: http://www.classzone.com/eservices/home/pdf/student/LA213EAD.pdf Day 9: Apply Law of Cosines. Mini project. Grade: 9 Content: Mathematics-Algebra II Materials: pencil, paper, whiteboard and markers, projector of some sort Time: 50 minutes Standards: North Dakota’s Cluster: Apply trigonometry to general triangles. Standards HS.GSRT.11 (+) Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurements in right and non-right triangles (e.g., surveying problems, resultant forces). Objectives: 1. Students will be able to apply the Law of Cosines to find unknown measurement in triangles. 2. Students will be able to determine when it is possible to use the Law of Cosines given certain measurements. 3. Students will be able to find the area of a triangle using Heron’s Area Formula. Learning Activities: 1. Attention grabber: On the board have the question “Now that we know how to solve measurements in a right triangle, do you think it would be possible to solve unknown measurements in a non-right triangle?” (comment it would be nice) 2. Let’s say for instance we want to find the distance the Earth has travelled around the sun after a minute has passed. -We know the distance the Earth is from the sun is approximately 149,500,000 km and we also know that in that minute the angle created by the two positions of the Earth is approximately .0006844626 degrees. -In this case we are given a side, an angle and a side. So far we do not have any formula that would tell us the distance the Earth has traveled. 3. Then someone came along and discovered the Law of Cosines, which comes from the Pythagorean Theorem. 4. Then have on the board the Law of Cosines a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cosA b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac cosB c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cosC 5. Have on the board a triangle in SAS case (side, angle, side). A triangle with given lengths of c = 20 and b = 16. You are also given the angle measure of A to be 44 degrees. Find the length of a. 6. Ask the students which equation we should use, from step 4 (they should choose the one with the angle measure A). 7. Then have the students walk you through the steps into having to solve for a (the answer is approximately 13.99). 8. Then put an example on the board of a SSS example. A triangle given the lengths a = 6, b = 9, and c = 7. Have the students find all the angles with the help of one other classmate, this can be done at their desks or on the white boards. (When figuring out the last angle have them use the equations still to make sure the angles add up to 180 degrees). 9. Make sure students have this example written down in their notes correctly by going over someone’s work on the board. (answer: A = 41.75, B = 87.27, and C = 50.98, 41.75 + 87.27 + 50.98 = 180). 10. Go back to the Earth problem and the distance the Earth traveled after one minute. 11. Ask the class what kind of case it is SAS or SSS. (answer (SAS) 12. Have the class work together again on this problem. What is the a, b, and c values? (This will differ depending on where they place their them on the triangle) A Which one are we looking for? What angles correspond to each letter A, B, and C? c b What equation did they choose to use? What is the distance? (1785.78 km) Could you find the other two angles if necessary? B a 13. What is the area of a right triangle? (they should be able to tell you that it is ½ bh) Do you know of a way to find the area of a triangle that is not right? 14. A Greek mathematician Heron discovered a formula which is √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐) where s = ½(a + b + c) s is the semiperimeter or half-perimeter of the triangle 15. As a class go through the process of finding the area of a triangle with given side lengths of a = 13m, b = 4m, and c = 11m. First find s then plug in all the values. (A=20.49 m2) 16. Extension: Have on the board an example of where they would need to find the area of a triangle in the real world. The intersection of three streets forms a piece of land call a traffic triangle. The distance from A to B is 100 yards, from B to C is 178 yards, and the distance from C to A is 293 yards. Students will work on this with their partner either in their notebooks or on the whiteboards. First find s, then the area. Assessment Formal: Homework assignment from book, and to find or make up a triangle that you need to find all the sides and angles when given either just SAS or SSS. Informal: Participation with working with partners and discussing as a class collected on an Excel sheet. Reflection Algebra II 9th grade The lesson I taught today is for two classes. In this class I could have spent more time explaining as a whole class. I gave a lot of time for the students to come up with how to solve the problems, but more examples as a class would have made that time more beneficial. Also, if I had a better feel of the technology the lesson would have gone a lot smoother. I did not feel I was very enthusiastic either which would have helped the class look more engaged. A thing I felt was C good was that students were not afraid to tell me I was doing something wrong. In the class I did not get through everything. Students came in after class for help. 11th grade I felt this lesson went a lot better. I explained the material better and clearer, I got through everything with extra time for students to start their homework. One thing I could have done better was stop for questions and ask about S.S.S. situations and S.A.S. situations. The collaboration in this class was not as good as the previous class, but everyone had the same issue when solving the real world problem, so I had a chance to explain it to the whole class. Overall the class was very quiet, and they would say the answer to a question very quietly.

Measure the sides of the triangle so you have all 3 side measurements that are labeled. Find all three angles A, B, and C using the Law of Cosines. To get full credit describe the object you found (draw a picture of it), provide accurate measurements (rounded to 2 decimal places), and show all of your work. If you are creating your own triangle, measure the exact length. If a ruler is not present, be sure to state what you are using as your form of measurement.

You are building a triangular concrete patio that has sides of length 8 feet, 11 feet, and 15 feet, and a thickness of .5 foot. If one bag of cement makes .33 cubic foot of concrete, how many bags of cement do you need to build the patio? What are you going to use to solve this? Explain your reasoning to your answer in 4 or more complete sentences. The answer is 65 bags of cement. This is because you need 64.92 and so you need to round up so there is enough cement. I went about this problem using Heron’s Area formula. I knew I had to use something that did not use right triangles since there was no mention of a right triangle. Once I found the surface area I multiplied it by the thickness of the patio, and then divided it by .33 ft3, the amount in each bag. 28. What is one thing that you liked about this unit? What is one thing that you still do not understand? Answer should be 2-3 sentences. Answers will vary
