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


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to carefully analyze and compare quadrilaterals and their sides. When students make comparisons, they have a reason to use geometric language precisely (MP6). The activity also enables the teacher to hear the terminology students know and how they talk about characteristics of two-dimensional figures. The knowledge and ideas that students show here may also be insightful to teachers in the next lesson, when students learn about angles.

Activity Synthesis
“How might we know if the sides of a figure are parallel?” (We could extend the lines or measure to see if the two sides are always the same distance apart.)
“All four quadrilaterals have at least one pair of parallel sides. Do all quadrilaterals have at least one pair of parallel sides?” (No) “Can you draw one with no pairs of parallel sides?”
