Zona Land: Right Triangle Solver 1

Observe the change in the trigonometric ratios as angles vary. An interactive provides the values of trigonometric ratios for both acute angles in a right triangle. Pupils create a right triangle to match given criteria and find the...

A trigonometric ratio is a ratio between two sides of a right triangle. In this problem, find sin(A) in the given right triangle. Use the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuse.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to check if this given triangle, with the given lengths of each side, is a right triangle. It's as simple as plugging the given values into the formula and doing the math to see if the solution checks...

Trigonometry? What's trigonometry. Well, something to do with triangles, right? Right! Right triangles! In this problem, find the missing length of one of the sides. So set this up as a ratio: cosine(A) = adjacent side length divided by...

A java applet that will solve a right triangle when you provide angle D and its adjacent side e.

A java applet that will solve a right triangle when you provide angle D and the length of the hypotenuse f.

A java applet that will solve a right triangle when you provide side lengths for d (long side) and e (short side).

A java applet that will solve a right triangle when you provide the lengths of side e (short side) and side f (hypotenuse).

A java applet that will solve a right triangle when you provide the lengths for side d (long side) and for side f (hypotenuse).

Fuse sports and geometry by having your class create paper footballs—that are actually isosceles right triangles! Scholars use an interactive to create an isosceles right triangle to model a paper football. From the information in the...
