Pre Assessment Pythagorean Theorem

How confident are you in knowing how to solve for missing parts (either an angle or side) of a right triangle?

• Totally Confident. I know when to use the Pythagorean theorem, and when/how to use the Trig Ratios.

• Somewhat confident. I know how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, but NOT the Trig Ratios

• Little bit confident. I need a little review of how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, and the Trig Ratios

• Not at all confident. I need to review how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, and the Trig Ratios
