Analytic Geometry Test is Friday!

Friday is our latest Analytic Geometry test.  The test will assess the students on their ability to show that triangles are similar, that triangles are congruent, and that they can use trigonometric ratios.

Trigonometry is the study of right triangles.  This is one of the questions that is on the test.

Here are some additional links to some sites related to what will be on the test:

Today in class, students received a take home quiz.  Students should use all of their resources to complete the test.  These will be graded and given back to the students during class Thursday so they have another tool to use to study.  Please email or Tweet me and I will answer any questions the students have.

Here are the answers to the quiz...

1) Not similar
2) Triangle NML, SSS
3) Triangle RVW, AA
4) Not similar
5) A     6) B     7) D     8) A
9) Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent leg of a triangle to the hypotenuse
10) Inverse tangent is the function that allows one to find the measure of an angle, given the opposite and adjacent leg measures.
11) SSS, SAS, AAS, ASA, HL
12) A     13) B     14) D     15) A
16)  24.44
17) 44.6 ft
