$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:
[IMG]
Draw a circle with center $P$ and with  radius $r \gt 0$.  Explain why the circle
meets each ray of angle $A$ in a single point.  Label these points $Q$ and $R$ respectively.
Draw circles with centers $Q$ and $R$ respectively and radius $r$.  These circles meet at $P$ and a second point to be labelled $B$.
Show that ray $\overrightarrow{PB}$  bisects angle $P$.


Standard options: 
A. Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.
B. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.


Your response, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.",

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the value of quotients where the divisor is less than 1 and where the dividend is large enough that drawing a complete diagram is cumbersome. Instead, students are encouraged to use a diagram to find
how many divisor sized groups are in 1 whole and then multiply the dividend by that number to find the value of the quotient. When students use the value of
\(1 \div 0.2\)
and multiplication to find the value of
\(12 \div 0.2\)
they are using regularity in reasoning (MP8).
This activity uses
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time.
Advances: Conversing.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for finding the value of the expression. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.

Activity
3–5 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who use the following strategies for problem 1:
reason about how many divisor-sized groups are in 1 whole, possibly with a diagram, and then multiply by the dividend
use multiplication equations to find the value of the division expressions
Student Facing
Find the value of the expression. Use a diagram if it is helpful.
\(12 \div 0.2\)

\(12 \div 0.2 = 60\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If a student is not sure how to explain Tyler’s reasoning in problem 2, ask them to read the expression to you and record the words they use. Then ask them how those words relate to the words Tyler used.
Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their solutions and strategies for evaluating the expression in the first problem.
“How was multiplication useful to find the value of the expression in the first problem?” (I didn't have to draw 12 wholes because I knew there were five 0.2s in each one so that would be
\(12 \times 5\)
total.)
