This week I learned how to use trigonometry to find angles and the length of sides. Every trig equation is: ratio(reference angel)=side 1/side 2 Ratio (cos, sin, tan) To find the length of sides using trig: First you have to… Continue Reading →

This week I learned how to do the surface area and volume of spheres/hemispheres. The diameter of a sphere = the height of the sphere Volume of a sphere= volume of 2 cones = 4/3 Surface area of a sphere… Continue Reading →

This week I learned how to convert imperial measurements to metric, and the other way around. At first I had some trouble with converting one unit to two, so cm into feet and inches, but I think now I understand. First… Continue Reading →

This week I learned about fraction exponents. With fraction exponents, you have to remember FLOWER POWER (the root is on the bottom) because when converting fraction exponents into radicals, or the other way around, you have to know what number… Continue Reading →

This week I learned that when solving a problem combing the exponent laws, you can use the laws in any order you want and it will be the same answer. For example: I also learned why the exponent laws work…. Continue Reading →

One thing I learned in the second week of math 10 is how to simplify entire radicals. First you need to find the radical you would like to simplify, lets use . Next you need to find the prime factorization… Continue Reading →
