Just how accurate is right triangle trigonometry?
ConclusionNow that you have completed this WebQuest, you should feel more comfortable with how to use right triangle trigonometry and how it is used in the real world.
For further consideration, try to find other methods that could be used to solve each of the problems from 1-6 without using trigonometry. Would the other methods require more information? the same information? less information? Do you think the other methods or the trigonometry are "easier"? Why? If you found this WebQuest interesting, perhaps you would enjoy some reading on why trigonometry is so important to the modern world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.headmap.org/unlearn/alfred/13.htm Enjoy! |
