develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MAV-11-04
applies trigonometry to solve problems involving geometric shapes
Apply trigonometry to solve problems involving right-angled triangles in two dimensions, true and compass bearings, and angles of elevation and depression
Represent angles of any magnitude using rays from the origin in the Cartesian plane and describe how one ray represents infinitely many angles
Use graphing applications or geometric construction to examine the ambiguous case of the sine rule, in which there are two possible solutions for an angle, and the condition for it to arise
Apply the sine rule, cosine rule and formula for the area of a triangle to solve problems where angles are measured in degrees, or degrees and minutes
Solve problems involving arc lengths and areas of major and minor sectors and segments
