Trigonometric Ratios

Royal Navy Search and Rescue helicopters provide cover to large sections of the UK coastline, offering support to coastguard services 365 days a year.

These materials from Defence Dynamics encourage the use of problem solving skills and knowledge of trigonometry to directly assist the Royal Navy in a series of civilian and armed forces personnel rescue efforts from as far north as Scotland down to Cornwall.

Students can watch video footage of real-life rescue efforts and test their skills through the accompanying multiple-choice quiz.
