Hard to believe, but we are already one-third of the way through this school year!

Today’s Updates:

Geometry (Periods 1 & 5)
AIM: What “shortcuts” exits to help us prove that two triangles are congruent?
HW: Finish worksheet about SSS & SAS Postulates — we will go over it in class.

Algebra 2 & Trigonometry Regents Prep (Period 3)
AIM: How do we use trig identities to simplify expressions?
HW: Finish packet from class today.

Pre-Calculus (Period 7)
AIM: How do we apply trigonometric formulas to real world situations?
HW: A helium filled balloon is moored at the start of the Macy’s parade. Two cables attached (at the same point) to the underside of the balloon make angles of 48° and 40° with the ground and are in the same plane as a perpendicular line from the balloon to the ground. If the cables are attached to the ground 10 feet apart from each other, how high above the ground is the balloon?
