Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.


General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry: Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry
Cluster: Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles. (Geometry - Major Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Formative Assessments

Name Description
The Sine of 57

Students are asked to explain what a given sine ratio indicates about a right triangle and if the sine of a specific value varies depending on the right triangle.

The Cosine Ratio

Students are asked to compare the ratio of corresponding sides of two triangles and to explain how this ratio is related to the cosine of a given angle.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Similarity and Trigonometry Connections

The properties of similarity and the corresponding sides of right triangles are used to discover a pattern that leads to the three trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Discovering Trigonometric Ratios

Students investigate and discover trigonometric ratios by drawing and measuring side lengths for five triangles that have equivalent angle measure. Students collect, analyze, and discuss data to draw conclusions. This is the introductory lesson to facilitate student discovery of trigonometric ratios and allows students to secure a solid foundation before the use of trigonometry to find missing sides. This lesson has students solving application problems by finding an unknown angle based on length measurements.

The Copernicus' Travel

This lesson uses Inverse Trigonometric Ratios to find acute angle measures in right triangles. Students will analyze the given information and determine the best method to use when solving right triangles. The choices reviewed are Trigonometric Ratios, The Pythagorean Theorem, and Special Right Triangles.

Geometry Problems: Circles and Triangles This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to use geometric properties to solve problems. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have the following difficulties solving problems by determining the lengths of the sides in right triangles and finding the measurements of shapes by decomposing complex shapes into simpler ones. The lesson unit will also help students to recognize that there may be different approaches to geometrical problems, and to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of those approaches.

Calculating the Earth-Sun distance using Satellite Observations of a Venus Transit

Every school child learns that the earth-sun distance is 93 million miles. Yet, determining this distance was a formidable challenge to the best scientists and mathematicians of the 18th and 19th centuries. The purpose of this lesson is to use the 2012 Transit of Venus as an opportunity to work through the mathematics to calculate the earth-sun distance. The only tools needed are basic knowledge of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. The lesson is self-contained in that it includes all the data needed to work through the exercise.
