Master Solving word problems using right triangle trigonometry

This video tutorial explains how to solve word problems using basic trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent. It covers setting up right triangles and selecting the appropriate trigonometric function to solve problems. Three examples are provided: calculating the height of a tree using tangent, determining the flight distance of a plane using sine, and finding the horizontal distance traveled on a road decline using cosine. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using a calculator in degree mode and rounding answers appropriately.
