Given that s / t ≈ tan(0.697) ≈ sin(0.994) ≈ cos(0.576), approximately what is the measure of angle β in radians, to the nearest tenth?” The question reads: “Side length t is 6.43 and s is 5.39. (Note: If you think you’ve already got a good understanding of trigonometry and just want to see the solution, you can skip ahead to “Solving the Problem.”) Let’s take a look at the problem that this student was struggling with. Because of their relatively high difficulty compared to other questions, I felt it was appropriate to address an example of how I’d go about solving one in a blog post. In my opinion, these are some of the hardest questions that the SAT tests you on. More specifically, they were struggling with Right Triangle Trigonometry questions. Recently, I’ve been tutoring for the SAT, and I noticed one of my students was struggling with some of the SAT math questions.
