Achievement ‘Achievement with Merit Achievement with Excellence + Apply trigonometric + Apply trigonometric * Apply trigonometric relationships in solving relationships, using relational __ relationships, using extended problems, thinking, in solving abstract thinking, in solving problems. problems. This achievement standard is derived from Level 7 of The New Zealand Curriculum, and is related to the achievement objective: apply trigonometric relationships, including the sine and cosine rules, in two and three dimensions. ¢ Apply trigonometric relationships in solving problems involves: selecting and using methods demonstrating knowledge of trigonometric concepts and terms communicating using appropriate representations. @ Relational thinking involves one or more of: selecting and carrying out a logical sequence of steps connecting different concepts or representations % demonstrating understanding of concepts % forming and using a model; and also relating findings to a context, or communicating thinking using appropriate mathematical statements, Extended abstract thinking involves one or more of: % devising a strategy to investigate or solve a problem identifying relevant concepts in context % developing a chain of logical reasoning, or proof % forming a generalisation; and also using correct mathematical statements, or communicating mathematical insight. © Problems are situations that provide opportunities to apply knowledge or understanding of ‘mathematical concepts and methods. Situations will be set in real-life or mathematical contexts. Methods include a selection from those related to: % length of an are of a circle area of asector of a circle sine rule # cosine rule area ofa triangle.

It probably began from dividing the 12 signs of the zodiac into smaller parts. A cycle of the seasons. of approximately 360 days could be made to correspond to the 12 signs of the zodiac. As convenient as this is, it does not give a ‘mathematical basis for degrees. Senior mathematics usually does not use degrees but defines another measure for angles called radians. Radians at first appear clumsy (there are 6.2832 radians in a circle) but they make the solving of many trigonometric problems, and in particular calculus, easier. A radian is defined as that angle whose arc is the same length as the radius of the arc. eS An angle of one radian forms an arc length equal in length to | the radius of the F—" sector. = one radian A full cicle has an arc length of 2nr and a radius of + 50 the number of radians in a circle is 2& or 2 ‘There are 2n or approximately 6.2832 radians in a circle so 2nradians = 360° approximately 6.2832 radians = 360° t) : 360 Tradian = g3605 =573" (1dp) ‘The symbol = means equivalent to. It is used when two quantities are the same but with different units. Degrees to radian conversion is also covered | in the Graphical Models Achievement Standard. If you have already done this there is no need to repeat it. Conversions Degrees to Radians We use the exact conversion: = 360° = 180° to convert from degrees to radians and vice versa. 2n rad. or mrad. To convert 0 degrees to radians all we have to find is what fraction of 180° it is and multiply by n. Angle in radians = 95% ‘You can use the fraction button ‘on your calculator to simplify this fraction quickly. Radians to Degrees To convert 6 radians to degrees we divide by and multiply by 180.
