Define and use the trigonometric ratios (sine,
cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant) in
terms of angles of right triangles.
Use properties of congruent and similar
polygons to solve mathematical or real-world
problems.
Apply transformations (translations, reflections,
rotations, dilations, and scale factors) to
