Soh Cah Toa-
Soh Cah Toa is how we are able to find missing sides and angles of right triangles. Soh stands for the trig function Sine and the o & h stands for opposite/hypotenuse. Cah stands for Cosine and the a & h stand for adjacent/hypotenuse. Toa stands for Tangent and the o & a stand for opposite/adjacent. You first have to find the angle with the number. Then look for the other numbers and see if they are opposite, hypotenuse, or adjacent. Then I used my TI-84 to finish the problem.
Trigonometry-
Trigonometry is a mathematics branch that studies triangles and the relationship between their sides and angles. We used trig to calculate the hight that our rocket went by using a right triangle, trig, and trig functions.
Linear Equations/Image Project-We learned about linear equations and plotting points. We did a project with linear equations, we chose a picture and had to plot points on it. After we plotted point we wrote 20 linear equations. Then we had to use Geogebra to re-plot all of our points to re-create our picture.
