Lesson 3.3 Summary

For further examples about solving problems using right triangles, see pp. 125 - 131 of Mathematics 10.

By combining the strategies you used with simpler one-step problems, it is possible to solve more complex problems involving more than one right triangle. The three primary trigonometric ratios, the Pythagorean theorem, and the triangle angle sum are some of the most important tools available for working with right triangles.
