G.GSR.6Right Triangle Trigonometry
Examine side ratios of similar triangles; use the relationship between right triangles to develop an understanding of sine and cosine to solve geometric problems and to model and explain real-life phenomena.
Appears in: Mathematics, High School
Expectations
G.GSR.6.1Explain 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.
G.GSR.6.2Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.
G.GSR.6.3Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for sides and angles of right triangles in applied problems.
