Trigonometry – Finding Missing Sides Treasure Hunt

Use this Treasure / Scavenger Hunt after teaching finding missing side lengths using trigonometry.

I have included all three trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine and tangent). There are a mixture of difficulty. The are questions on finding opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse so in some cases students will need to divide by the trigonometric ratio.

Instructions

• Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room
• Each question is in the middle of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.
• Answers are correct to two decimal places where appropriate
• A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question
• Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions
• There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence
