In this standard you will learn applying trigonometric relationships in solving problems.
The key skills are
sine rule
cosine rule
area of a triangle.
length of an arc of a circle
area of a sector of a circle
This video recaps all the Year 10 SOH-CAH-TOA learning as well as Pythagoras.
You can use this link to get the overall idea of how we define trig ratios from a right-angled triangle.

From these links, you will learn what is the sine rule and what is cosine rule and how we can apply them to find unknown sides. Work your way through these 4 videos and then answer the questions in the readiness checkers below it.

These tasks will illustrate a need to understand and problem solve around some ideas which are not necessarily ones you have been thinking about recently. None the less, you may be assessed in these areas so worth doing practice activities as early as possible to prepare yourself as best as you can!
