Week 16 – Precalculus 11

This week in Precalculus 11, my best mistake was when we were working on angles and ratios. I kept getting confused with SOH CAH TOA and figuring out where the x, y, and r go. I rushed into the question and got it wrong because I did not pay close attention and mixed up the labels on the triangle, which is why my answer was incorrect.

I learned that in this unit I need to double-check everything, no matter what, and that trigonometric ratios always depend on the angle. Figuring out this mistake helped me understand angles and ratios more clearly and reminded me to slow down and check my work before moving on. Once I did that, everything started to click.
