Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for two triangles to be similar.
problem_activity: Given below are the graphs of two lines,
$${y = 0.5x + 5}$$
and
$${y = -1.25x + 8}$$
, and several regions and points are shown. Note that C is the region that appears completely white in the graph.
[IMG]
For each region and point, write a system of equations or inequalities that has the region or point as its solution set.
Verify that a point that lies in region A satisfies the system of inequalities that you wrote for region A.
Without choosing any specific numbers, explain how you know that all the points in quadrant 3 must satisfy the inequalities for region A.
