The teacher will give an activity for the students before introducing a new topic.
Instructions: Say “Korek” if the statement is true and “Vlags”.
1. In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is equal to the length of the
adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
2. The cosine of 90° is 1.
3. In a right triangle, if one angle measures 30°, the cosine of that angle is
√3/2.
 4. The sides of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem,
which states that a² + b² = c².
5. In a right triangle, if you know the lengths of two sides, you can always
find the angles using cosine.

Abstract
The teacher will post the problem on the
board.
A teacher who is standing cast a shadow
on the ground. If the distance from the tip
of the shadow to the head of the teacher
is 2 meters and forms an angle of
elevation of 49°, find the length of her
shadow.

the post.
Solution:
Solution:
cos𝜃=𝐴/𝐻
cos𝜃=𝐴/𝐻
cos33°=𝐴/4
cos49°=𝐴/2
A=4cos33˚ = 3.4 meters
A=2cos49˚ = 1.3
Therefore, the distance of the girl from
the post is 3.4 meters The length of the shadow is 1.3 meters.

from the sight of the girl to the top of the
post.

Solution:

cos𝜃=𝐴/𝐻
Solution:
cos𝜃=𝐴/𝐻 cos33°=𝐴/4

cos34°=8/H A=4cos33˚ = 3.4 meters

H=8/cos34˚ = 9.6 meters Therefore, the distance of the girl from

the post is 3.4 meters
Therefore, the distance from the sight of
