In this (non-linear) PowerPoint there are 6 examples of how to use right triangle trig to solve real life problems. These word problems include things like measuring sycamore trees, escalators in a mall, water slides, ski slopes, sightseeing in NYC, and creating a wheelchair ramp. These problems use sine, cosine, and tangent to solve for missing sides.
All answers (with helpful graphics) are included.
