7.7 PDF


  • (1-18) all

7.6 PDF again



  • yes, I am reassigning these word problems because I KNOW that you didn't know how to do them

  • now that you know the answers, see if you can work your way backwards to solve the problems

  • remember, that distance = (rate)(time) and rpm means revoultion per minute

  • so, 100 rpms means 100 revolutions per minute or the wheel goes around 100 times in 1 minute

  • 1 revolution = circumference of the circle

  • so 5000 rpms = 5000 circumferences

Trig Pre Test






  • complete this 3 times! once for Friday night, once for Saturday night, and one more time for Sunday night. 3 times in a row creates a pattern of success!!!! =)



  • that means you are turning in 4 sets to me on Monday (1 that we did in class and the 3 that you are doing this weekend)!

  • don't forget we did another example of vectors in class today so you have to do that one as well!

  • for those of you who didn't copy it in class, here it is again....

  • #15 (second example): Geomvannie is flying his Cessna on a heading in the figure at the right (you should have copied the picture of the parallelogram!) if not, you will have to recreate it yourself!). His instruments show an air speed of 130 mph (air speed is the speed of a plane as it flies in still air, that is, ignoring wind). There is a 20 mph wind intersecting the path of the plane as shown. What is the speed of the plane (its ground speed). What is its direction?

  7. Air traffic controller I. C. Plains must quickly caluclate the height of an incoming jet. To do this, he records the jet's angle of elevation to be 16 degrees. If the jet signals that its land distance (aka distance on land aka ground distance) is 108 km from the base of the control tower, calculate the height of the plane. (ignore the height of the tower)

  8. An operator at the top of a lighthouse sights a sailboat. the point from which the sighting is made is 37 meteres above sea level. The angle of depression of the sighting is 22 degrees. How far is the boat from the base of the lighthouse?

  9. A support wire is attached to the top of a 115 meter radio tower. The wire is 215 meters long. Find the measure of the angle of elevation of the wire from the ground to the top of the tower.

  10. Find the measure of angle B in triangle ABC given the measure of angle A is 32 degrees, AC = 56 cm and BC = 45 cm.

  • do not do all of these problems in one sitting




  • i want you to do 13.5 problems a day for 10 days




  • that way, you will keep your skills sharp




  • i'd prefer that you don't go a day without doing some math problems because you guys know you forget stuff in 24 hours BUT if you do 13.5 problems a day, you won't give yourself time to forget anything




  • don't forget to obtain time stamp signatures everyday




  • don't forget to update your flashcards w mommy and daddy chart (i will only require 5 signatures here instead of 10)

  • Also, I'd STRONGLY advise you to redo some Trigonometry word problems from 13.1, 13.3, and 13.4 PDFs because you guys will come back from break and do the other side of the Trig Test (remember, you only did 1-14 today)

  • If you want more practice word problems, then do the word problems found in your book for 8.5 (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!!)

13.3 PDF



  • (1-16) all

  • Some problems got cut off during the scanning process. The following is what you will need to know for each problem that got cut off:

  • #12: Archaeologist Ertha Diggs is using an angle measuring device to determine the height of an ancient temple. When she views the top of the temple through her device, she records a thirty-seven degree angle up from the horizontal. She is standing 130 meters from the center of the temple's base, and her eye is 1.5 meters above the ground. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how tall is the temple?

  • #15: Alphonse is directly over the 2500-meter landing strip in his hot air balloon (point A) and is observed at one end of the strip by Beatrice (point B) with an angle of elevation measuring 39 degrees. Meanwhile, at the other end of the strip, Collette (point C) observes the balloon with an angle of elevation of 62 degrees. What is the distance btwn Alphonse and Beatrice? How high up is Alphonse when he is observed? (I know that I haven't gone over angles of elevation and depression yet so just have this problem written down so that I can use it to teach with tomorrow.)

  • #16: A tree is growing vertically on a hillside that is at a 16 degree angle to the horizontal. The tree casts a shadow 18m long up from the slope. If the angle of elevation of the sum measures 68 degrees, how tall is the tree? (Once again, please have this written or printed out so that I can use it to teach with in tomorrow's class)

  1. Duplicate a line segment.
  2. Duplicate an acute angle.
  3. Duplicate an obtuse angle.
  4. Construct a pair of parallel lines using the rhombus method.
  5. Construct a perpendicular through a point NOT on the line.
  6. Construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment.
  7. Construct a perpendicular through a point ON the line.
  8. Construct an angle bisector.

once you've completed 1-8 on the front and back side of your paper, fold another paper in half twice and REPEAT 1-8!
