While my title may make some people scoff, we learned how to do some tricky things, and I'm glad that we don't have to know how the formulas work, just that they do. The sine law is actually not too bad. I can recall working with similar triangles from last year having steps similar to the sine law. The cosie law, however is a different story. There are 6 ways to choose from, and they all have many variables. It is still interesting, and I enjoy how we set up a list of all of the values for the triangle. I find "filling in the blanks" to be quite (well, I won't say fun), but it helps keep my interst in the problem. And it is quite satisfying when the triangle is solved. I guess that is what I enjoy most about trig.
As for the math homework holiday, it is now over. I now know how to finish my AM practice assignmet, and I have a test. Also there are 12 questions on the cumulative exercises for us to do, and it will take a while.
