Mathematics and trigonometry have become essential for students who want
to pass their GCSE exams to secure their future careers. Word problems are
an essential part of passing mathematics or trigonometry. Understanding
how to translate word problems into mathematical solutions is an essential
skill for students to masterand easy to learn if you learn it the right way!
Trigonometry word problems include problems relating to radians and
degrees, circles, word problems involving trigonometric functions, and word
problems involving identities.
This blog will show you how to work with trigonometry word problems. If you
want to learn how to conquer trigonometry word problems, then sign up for
the Trigonometry: Degrees and Radians course. This course contains over
twenty two lectures that will teach you how degrees, revolutions and radians
are defined, how to convert between degrees and radians, how to draw
angles in a standard position, how to solve problems involving large angles
and how to find the exact values of the six trigonometric ratios for a given
triangle.
Solving Trigonometry Word Problems
To translate trigonometry word problems into mathematical equations and
solutions, you need to have a good understanding of the concepts within
trigonometry, as well as the definitions of these concepts. Trigonometry is
often expressed as an image representing the angles, circles and other
trigonometric concepts involved. It is therefore best to translate your word
problem into a picture that represents the word problem. Use the words to
visualize and draw the image involved to represent the problem. We will use
this approach for the trigonometry problem examples included in this
tutorial.
The Flagpole Trigonometry Word Problem Example
One of the most common word problems you will come across in
trigonometry is the flagpole example. In this type of word problem, you are
generally given two values for calculation purposes and you are asked to find
the missing information. A good example of this type of word problem is:
A flagpole is 18 feet high. The flagpole casts a shadow of 24 feet along the
ground. Calculate the distance between the end of the shadow and the top of
the flag pole and calculate the angle between the shadow and the line
representing the distance.
They dont really understand the problems. This may be because they have
to apply many algebraic and geometrical concepts and their relationships in
order to get the right solution. In this page, we will discuss some examples
that will help you get used to the terms and describe the relation between
trigonometric functions.
