Tuesday's Lesson: Choosing Between

Hello Everyone!
On Tuesday, I was away.

The class worked on choosing between:
  • Pythagorean Theorem
  • SOHCAHTOA
  • Sine Law
  • Cosine Law

If you were given a triangle to solve, how would you choose which method?

We will talk about this again in Wednesday's class.

Hi Everyone,
I glanced at the tests after school today and noticed that most people did not get to/answer the Thinking questions. There will be a retest on the Thinking section only on Wednesday afternoon. The Thinking questions from the original test will become bonus questions.
I am away tomorrow. I hope you have a good day!
