Description

Trig - Basic Ratios: This project (task and answer key) requires students to use the basic trig ratios sine, cosine and tangent as well as the Theorem of Pythagoras in a practical, real-life application - building a lean-to roof onto an existing shed. This project replaces the boring task containing tens of triangles with one side or angle missing. With this project, students will experience first hand how the basic trigonometry they learn is used in real-life.

After you have introduced the basic trig ratios sine, cosine and tangent to students, print this project and watch your students encounter a real-life problem for which they now have the mathematics to solve.
