options: Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

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.

Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $P$ is a point not contained on a line $L$.
Let $Q$ be the point on $L$ so that $PQ$ meets $L$ perpendicularly and let
$R$ be any other point on $L$ as in the picture below:
[IMG]
Show that segment $PQ$ is shorter than segment $PR$.
