 * Week 3 Performance Task, Assignment 1:**


 * Topic**: Finding angle and side measurements of triangles


 * Objective**: Students will be able to calculate angle and side measurements of triangles, given incomplete information about the triangle.


 * Enduring Understandings:**
 * A triangle’s angles and side lengths are connected.
 * Even though we can easily calculate information from a right triangle, most triangles aren’t right. However, they can be broken down.
 * All right triangles follow Pythagorean’s Theorem and can be manipulated using trigonometry.


 * Essential Questions:**
 * How can we calculate one angle in a triangle, given the other two?
 * How can we find the length of a side of a right triangle, given the other two?
 * How can we break a given triangle up into right triangles?
 * How is side length connected to angle in right triangles?
