Students identify the different types of bridges. Using the internet, they research information on how they are built by completing a scavenger hunt. Locating a specific area, they determine which type of bridge would be appropriate and...

For this calculating the horizon worksheet, students solve 6 problems using algebra, derivatives and calculus to find the formula for the line-of-sight horizon, the distance along a planet, the horizon distance and the rates of change...

Young scholars identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

Ninth graders, after being given a unique scenario and a task sheet on Dead Man's Curve, calculate and explain the force needed to keep a car on a curve using a set of formulas and a geometric property of circles. They utilize and create...

For this area worksheet, students solve for the area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, kites, regular polygons, circles, and surface area.  The worksheets is divided into seven different sets of problems.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students about tangent lines and how to apply theorems related to tangents of circles.

Learn about the tangent definition in geometry, tangent geometry, tangent to a circle, tangent line equation. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at the tangent line calculator or solving a few...

Investigate circles, namely their angles, chords, and tangents using this highly interactive Learn Alberta math. Explore a number of circle geometry properties that can be used to determine unknowns. Be sure to follow the link to the...

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The two circles are tangent to one another at point A. Their diameters are parallel. Prove that points A, D and F are co-linear. You'll also learn how to create an...

Here is a project that combines Computer Science and Mathematics. The semicircle has two tangent lines that meet at point T. You need to prove that a line drawn from A to T bisects CD. You'll also learn how to create an interactive...

When a line intersects a circle in exactly one point the line is said to be tangent to the circle or a tangent of the circle.

Explore and understand tangent ratios.

Solve two problems that apply properties of tangents to determine if a line is tangent to a circle.

Solve two problems that apply properties of tangents to determine if a line is tangent to a circle.

Solve two challenging problems that apply properties of tangents to find the radius of a circle with a tangent.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students to find the sine, cosine, and tangent of right triangles.

Solve problems related to tangents of circles. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide reviews the terminology for circles (tangent, arcs, central angles) and the equation for a circle.

In this activity students explore the tangent ratio. Students construct a right triangle using perpendicular lines, and a line that forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. When students construct the hypotenuse line it is very important...

This site contains an experiment that demonstrates how transporting a tangent vector around a closed path on a sphere will cause it to come back twisted. [Requires Java.]

Young scholars can use Cabri Jr. to explore some of the characteristics of tangents.

This lesson focuses on trigonometry including the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Determine the rules for radius and tangents of circles.
