Pillar 4 – personal responsibility – goal setting assignment

My current strengths within this pillar. Firstly, I have strength with attending class on time and prepared, and I only ever miss class if I am sick or another emergency has occurred, but hence these things I am always on time and prepared to do what we need to do in class. For consistently completing assignments, I have to say I do, with only exceptions from times which I have worked with peers who have had a hard time fitting the completion of the assignment. I do try and show my steps when I do complete my work, and I mark properly and use my practice quizzes and assignments as tools. For making use of class time, I am on task for most of the time, with a rare break to listen to music or talk to a classmate. I try to keep my phone in my bag, but sometimes I use it, but I am learning to develop the skill of not using it at all. I do in fact ask questions when I need to. I am very responsible with my drives in this class, and I am motivated to do well in this class as well. In regards of future growth, I feel as if I could come to class with a set out outline for notes and what to expect and making sure I dedicate 100% of my class time to work and effort into my work and studying as well as eliminating my phone from my working environment entirely. I could write down every question which I am stuck on to ask the teacher, and I could also implement a goals list for the class. For the goals I would like to have a structured set of notes to come to class with to be extra prepared, and I would like to make sure to review all class practices so I can get the maximum amount of feedback towards what I need to improve on. I would also like to not touch my phone unless I am 100% completed my Bio homework and studying, if not bio for my other classes as well. I would like to write down questions which I am confused about and refer to my teacher to get help with. I would also like to set the goal of focusing on making more goals in this class.

Right triangles are a triangle where one angle of the triangle is 90 degrees but the sides of the triangles have different ratios that you can use to figure out more about your triangle

There are three ratios that you can use for your triangle

Sine ratio

Co-sine ratio

Tangent ratio

(all of these can be put into -1, for a different use)

Another thing that is very important is soh cah toa

Our sine ratio, takes the opposite side, and the hypotenuse, and this is how we find our sine ratio. for example you have a triangle where it gives us a hypotenuse length of 30, and a opposite side length of 17, then we would simply be doing 17 divided by 30.

our co sine ratio, is when we take our adjacent side and we divide it by our hypotenuse. so this means that we would be putting adjacent over hypotenuse as well. It is basically just like sine ratio, except we are using the adjacent side now

Our tangent ratio involves the opposite side, and our adjacent side. In this case with our tangent ratio, we will be putting the opposite side on top, and adjacent will remain on the bottom.

When I mentioned SOH CAH TOA, this is a acronym to help us remember the order of our right triangle operations. S in SOH stands for sine, O in SOH stands for opposite and of course H stands for the hypotenuse. CAH is our co-sine ratio, because the C stands for co- A stands for adjacent and H stands for hypotenuse. I am guessing that you may know what TOA means. If not, it represents our tangent ratio.

I chose this topic for my blog post because I felt like it was a topic that I understood and I could communicate and explain fairly well.
