Test on Unit 6
In order to be successful in this unit, you must be able to solve trigonometric
problems using your calculator.
Skill Set A:
Students will be able to use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse to find the missing side of a right
triangle or determine if the given sides of a triangle form a right, acute or obtuse triangle.
Skill Set B:
Students will be able to use the patterns for 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 right triangles to find the missing side
of special right triangle.
Skill Set C:
Students will be able to use trigonometry to find the missing sides and/or angles of right triangles.
Skill Set D:
Students will be able to apply angles of elevation and depression to real-world scenarios.
Unit 6: Right Triangles
ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS: The properties of right triangles are used to solve real world situations.
1. Certain right triangles have properties that allow short cuts to determine side lengths.
2. If certain combinations of side lengths and angle measures of a right triangle are known, then ratios may be used to
find other side lengths and angle measures.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: How are right triangles used to solve real world problems?
1. How are the sides of right triangles related?
2. Under what conditions are trigonometric ratios used?
3. How are angles of elevation and depression used to find horizontal distance and vertical height?
SOL Objectives (2009):
G.8
The student will solve real-world problems involving right triangles by using the Pythagorean Theorem and its
converse, properties of special right triangles, and right triangle trigonometry.
