On Tuesday, the 2nd of May, we’ll have a test on trigonometry (corresponding to the material in Chapters 7 and 8 in our textbook).
Complete the following questions in preparation for the test, and we’ll discuss solutions in our next lesson.
Page 393 questions 18 and 20 (20 is challenging!)

Pages 348–349 questions 17–23
Update: The date of the test was corrected to Tuesday.
Now that we’ve looked at the Sine and Cosine Rules (as well as the ambiguous case of the sine rule), we can apply these to solve some 3D problems.
Have a look at the following questions tonight.
Pages 381–382 questions 24 and 25
Pages 391–393 questions 12, 17, 19
Can you solve the ambiguous case?
Use GeoGebra to see if you can find the missing angle discussed in class.
In addition to this, complete the following set of questions from the textbook for our next lesson. (For a couple of these questions, you’ll need the definitions of angle of elevation and angle of depression.)
Pages 358–360 questions 31, 36, 40
