HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY!
We have done basic sine law and cosine law problems before the break.
Monday we will do a few more problems where you need to decide which law to use:
Hint: In SSS or SAS information given problems, use cosine law. For other use sine law. Remember, only use Pythagorean Theorem when given right triangles. We will introduce Monday the sine law ambiguous case. Then as well, between Monday and Tuesday problems where diagrams need to be created using angles of elevation and angles of depression and throw in the ambiguous case where it applies. After workday on Wednesday, we will wrap this up and probably quiz on Friday. Next Monday we will start matrix work.
This is it for week #1 in 2009!
