In Context Problem:
James left his house and headed straight for Wheel Park on his skateboard. James rode along the street at an average speed of 12 miles per hour. It took James 15 minutes to get to Wheel Park because of the lights. James decided to take the trail along Horseshoe Park home to avoid lights. James averaged 16 miles per hour on the trip back home. His entire trip was 8.5 miles. Use the equation below to help you answer the questions. D = S1 T 1 + S2 T 2 What does the term S1 T1 represent as far as the trip is concerned? Distance TO Wheel Park What does the term S2 T2 represent as far as the trip is concerned? Distance FROM Wheel Park (to home) What was the distance on the way to the park? 12 = 3 miles What was the distance on the way home? 8.5 3 = 5.5 miles home How long did it take James to get back to the school? 5.5 16 = 0.34375 hours OR 20.625 minutes

right triangle (10.64) and the short leg of the triangle (3.64). From here you can subtract to find the measurement of the top side of the trapezoid. 3. Altitude = 5.88 miles (31,000 ft) Hint: need diagram below

a. First find the distance the plane has traveled using the d=st formula (keep in mind that youll have to change miles/hour to miles/min first) b. Next youll need to find all the angles in the triangle. You can do this all using only subtraction. The values in bold above are given information. The italics measures can be found using subtraction. c. Once youve got all the angles filled in, you can find first longest side of the top triangle (which is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle) and then use that to find the altitude.

Advanced Practice Solve Triangles: 1. A=117.5 in2 hint: first find the missing angles of the triangle (52 and 28). Then use the law of sines OR soh-cah-toa (sine) to find the height of the triangle (9.389 in). Use the base (25) and height to find the area of the triangle. 2. Missing sides: 10.64 m & 16.36 m Hint: First draw the height into the trapezoid. The trapezoid can now be viewed as a rectangle and a right triangle. The angle at the top of the triangle can be found by subtraction (its 20) and from there you can use soh-cah-toh (cos and tan) to find the hypotenuse of the
