Adjacent angle
Adjacent side
Opposite angle
Opposite side
Tangent
Mathematical Objective:
o Use the tangent ratio to measure length indirectly

Lesson Overview:
This lesson will introduce the students to the trigonometry with right triangles. The students
will learn how to identify adjacent and opposite legs and angles. The lesson will focus on the tangent
ratio and provide students with opportunities to use the tangent ratio in order to indirectly measure
unknown lengths of right triangle legs.
