4.4 And 4.5 Congruence
This document provides an overview of congruence shortcuts for triangles. It discusses the different ways triangles can be proven congruent, including:
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side)
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)
- SSS (Side-Side-Side)
- AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle)
It explains that triangles are congruent if three parts (sides or angles) correspond and are equal in measure. The order of the parts must also match between the two triangles.
The Basics Of Trigonometry Kwandanee
The document provides an overview of trigonometry concepts including the unit circle, important trigonometry terms like sine, cosine and tangent, quadrants of the unit circle, and definitions of angle measurements like terminal, initial, coterminal, and reference angles. Examples are given to illustrate these concepts such as finding the measure of a terminal angle, its coterminal angles, and the corresponding reference angle based on a sample unit circle diagram.
TechMathI - 4.5 - Altitudes, Medians, and Bisectors
This document provides information about medians, altitudes, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles:
1) A median is a line segment connecting a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. A triangle has 3 medians. The point where the 3 medians intersect is called the centroid.
2) An altitude is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. It represents the "true height" of the triangle.
3) A perpendicular bisector is a line segment through the midpoint of a side, perpendicular to that side. The two segments formed on either side are congruent.
3e pythagorean theorem
This document discusses how to use the Pythagorean theorem to prove that a triangle is a right triangle. It defines key terms like right angle, vertex, right triangle, legs, and hypotenuse. It states the Pythagorean theorem formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where the legs squared plus the legs squared equals the hypotenuse squared. The document directs the reader to page 46 to see an example of applying the Pythagorean theorem to show a triangle is a right triangle.
9.6 terms
This document provides instructions for solving right triangles using trigonometric functions. It explains that solving a right triangle involves finding the measures of the three angles and lengths of the three sides. It notes that a calculator's inverse trigonometric functions allow working backwards from a trig ratio to the corresponding angle measure. Finally, it offers guidance for determining which inverse function to use based on the given information, such as using tangent when the hypotenuse is unknown or cosine when the opposite side is missing.
Math things - Fractions
This document provides definitions and examples of common math fraction terms including mixed numbers, improper fractions, and the parts of a fraction. Mixed numbers contain both a whole number and a fraction part, while improper fractions have a numerator larger than the denominator. The document explains how to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. It also identifies the numerator and denominator as the key parts of any fraction.
Correct distance unit
This document discusses different measurement units and asks the reader to identify the appropriate unit to use when measuring different objects. It asks the reader to measure lengths in kilometers, meters, centimeters, and millimeters. It also asks the reader to recall conversion factors between units like millimeters in a centimeter or centimeters in a meter to help choose the right measurement unit.
Math gloosary 1 mixed numbers and improper fractions
The document defines mixed fractions as containing both whole numbers and fractions, providing the example of "2 3/4" as a mixed fraction. It also defines improper fractions as when the numerator is larger than the denominator, such as "3/4". It provides steps for converting an improper fraction into a mixed fraction by first solving the equation, then dividing the remainder by the denominator.

What is soh cah toa
In mathematics there are lots of terms and definitions that are hard to remember. Trigonometry is a field of math with many hard terms to remember. However, there is a simple trick to remember the the definition of the basic trigonometric functions. With just using the simple mnemonic phrase like Soh Cah Toa, you can simplify remembering the basic trigonometric properties of the right triangle.
Trigonometric ratios
The concept of trigonometric ratios is important in Maths trigonometry. Some of applications and procedures are discussed here for easy understanding the concept clarity.
Trigonometric Functions Right Triangles
The document discusses trigonometric functions and right triangles. It defines the six trigonometric functions as ratios between pairs of sides in a right triangle. The first three functions are sine, cosine, and tangent, which relate the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides to a given angle. The other three are the reciprocals of the first three and complete the set of basic trigonometric functions.

The document discusses basic trigonometric functions and their use in solving right triangles. It introduces the trig functions of sine, cosine, and tangent and defines them relative to angles and sides of a right triangle. It also covers solving right triangles when given one angle and one side or when given two sides, using trig identities and the Pythagorean theorem.
Unit 2
Trigonometry involves studying triangles and relationships between their sides and angles. The main trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent. Sine is defined as the ratio of the side opposite an angle to the hypotenuse. Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. Tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. These functions only apply to right triangles and relate angles to the lengths of sides. Examples are worked through to illustrate calculating sine, cosine, and tangent for different angles in right triangles.
