Whew!  We had a pretty heavy "content" day today.  And it looks like another one is going to happen tomorrow.  We finished up solving problems using the trig functions and introduced the Law of Sines.  Tomorrow we will finish Law of Sines and also learn Law of Cosines.  The students need to begin reviewing for Chapter 9 test.  It is going to be given on Friday, February 17th.


Learner Outcome:
a.  Use the Law of Sines to solve oblique triangles

What did we do today?  *The notes and problems worked can be found on the CLASS WIKI
1.  Discuss homework problems from Trig Worksheet.
2.  Notes part 1 Law of Sines

Assignment
We didnt get far enough on the Law of Sines to have homework....HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
