Trig Intro

What is the purpose of the Greek letter theta in trigonometry?

• To mark the right angle

• To label the hypotenuse

• To indicate a reference angle

• To represent a side of a triangle

How do you identify the opposite leg in a triangle?

• It is the side next to the reference angle (Theta)

• It is the longest side of the triangle

• It is the side across from the reference angle (Theta)

• It is the sides that forms the right angle

What color is used to highlight the adjacent leg?

• Yellow

• Blue

• Green

• Pink or Purple

Which side of the triangle is the hypotenuse?

• The side opposite the reference angle (Theta)

• The side that forms the right angle

• The side across from the right angle

• The side next to the reference angle (Theta)

What is the first step in solving a trigonometry problem?

• Draw a circle

• Find the hypotenuse

• Label the triangle

• Calculate the angles
