Question
Answer
Geometric mean   between two numbers is the positive square root of there product  
🗑
Pythagorean triple   a set of 3 non zero whole numbers a,d,c as in a2 + b2=c2  
🗑
trigonometry   the study of the properties of triangle and trigonmic functions and their applications  
🗑
trigonometric ratio   a ratio of the lengths of sides of a right triangle  
🗑
sin   ratio of the opposite leg from  
🗑
cosine   ratio of adjacent leg of  
🗑
Tangent   ratio of opposite leg of  
🗑
Cosecant   recipricol of sin so C over A  
🗑
secant   recipricol of cosine so C over B  
🗑
cotangent   recipricol of tangent so B over A  
🗑
angle of elevation   the angle formed by a horizontal line and an observers line of sight to an object above the horizontal line  
🗑
angle of depression   is the angle formed by a horizontal line and an object below the horizontal line  
🗑
Law of Sines   can be used to find missing measures in a non right triangle  
🗑
Law od Cosines   to solve a triangle if you know the measures of two sides and the included angle (SAS)  
🗑
vector   a quantity that has both magnitude and direction  
🗑
Magnitude   is the length of the vector from initial point to its terminal point  
🗑
direction   is the angle madde with the position x-axis, or any other horizontal line  
🗑
standard position   when it has it intial point at the origin  
🗑
component form   described in terms of its horizontal change x and vertical change y from its intial point to its terminal point  
🗑
Geometric Mean (Altiude) Thm   the altitude the separates the hypo into two different sections and the geometric mean between lengths tree  
🗑
geometric mean (leg) thm   the altitude seprates the hypo into two parts and legs can be found by the geometric mean of the length of the hypo and the segment of the hypo adjacent to that leg  
🗑
Pythag thm   in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the squared length of the hypo  
🗑
converse of pythag   if the sum t=of the two legs equal the hypo squared its a right triangle  
🗑
45, -45, -90   in a 45, -45, 90 triangle the legs are congruent and the length of the hypo is 2 square root of length of a leg  
🗑
30, -60, -90,   the length of the hypo is 2 times the length of the shortest leg and the longest leg it 3 square root times the length of the shortest  
🗑
law of sines thm   If triangle has lengths abc represent the lengths of the sides opposite of angles sin A over a sin B over b din C over c  
🗑
Law of cosines thm   a2 = b2+c2-2bc cos A b2= a2+c2 -2ac cos B c2= a2+b2 - 2ab cos C  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
