Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry: Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry
Cluster: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
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.

Introduction to Trigonometry:

The video is a brief introduction to or review of trigonometry. The teacher uses a spray bottle to show the difference between opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse according to the angle in which the bottle is located. Then she touches upon sine, cosine, and tangent. She uses theatrics to introduce the saying "soh-cah-toa" as an acronym for each of the sine, cosine, and tangent.
