This course on Right Triangle Trigonometry Review aims to help learners understand the basics of trigonometry related to right triangles. By the end of the course, students will be able to identify the short leg, long leg, and hypotenuse of a right triangle, define sine, cosine, and tangent, work with special right triangles, trigonometric ratios, and complementary angles. The course teaches how to find missing sides and angles using trigonometry, as well as introduces reciprocal functions like secant, cosecant, and cotangent. The teaching method involves a video review with a detailed syllabus covering various topics. This course is intended for individuals looking to refresh their knowledge of right triangle trigonometry or those seeking a comprehensive review of the subject.
