Right Triangle Trigonometry Word Problems: Intro
This video introduces word problems for right triangles that need to be solved using trigonometry.
The general strategy is to first read through the problem and identify what the question is asking. Next, define the missing variable based on the question. From there, a right triangle can be drawn and the missing angle or side length can be found using the various trigonometric ratios and a calculator.
