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.
