The sliding centre built for the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver and Whistler featured the sports skeleton, luge, and bobsled. The design of the sliding centre involved careful consideration of slope, vertical descent, and the track’s overall distance. You will recognize each of these terms from a number of problem situations solved using right-angle triangle trigonometry!

 

The trigonometry of right triangles and its application to sports, games, art, and design was the focus of this module. As you worked through this module you examined how the concepts from these lessons applied to games or art for your Unit 3 Project.

 

In this module you developed your skills as you investigated the following questions:

  • How can the trigonometric ratios, which are based on side and angle relationships found in right triangles, help to solve practical problems?

A picture can tell a story. The “Module 7 Lessons Summary” is a collection of images from each lesson that describe the math you explored. What do you remember about each image? Can you relate each image to something new you learned in this module?
