Use trigonometry to find the perpendicular height of a triangle
In this lesson, we will identify the perpendicular height of triangles, use trigonometry to find the perpendicular height and apply this to find the area of a triangle.

Solve basic trigonometry equations
In this lesson, we will use a calculator to work out values of angles by rearranging trigonometric equations relating to sides and angles and using inverse trigonometric functions.
Use inverse functions to find an angle
In this lesson, we will find a missing angle in a given triangle using the inverse trigonometric functions. We will need to interpret which trigonometric ratio to use, and rearrange it.
Solve problems mixing angles and sides
In this lesson, we will apply trigonometry to multi-step problems by finding missing sides and missing angles
