What the test measures

Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry skills

  1. Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations

  2. Prove theorems involving similarity

  3. Define trigonometric ratios in right triangles

  4. Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean theorem to solve right triangles

Standards basis

Missouri Learning Standards (Mathematics K-5 and Mathematics 6-12; revised standards approved April 19, 2016) — Missouri

How the MO MAP reports it

Missouri’s MAP math is built from the Missouri Learning Standards and the state’s item specifications, not from a separate national testing framework. The standards are closely CCSS-aligned in structure, with grade-level and course-level domains used as the native reporting/coverage structure.

Blueprint & weighting

Missouri publishes grade-level and EOC blueprints, but the accessible official pages in this pass did not expose the domain-by-domain percentage tables. The assessment page states that item specifications organize expectations by domains/strands and that blueprints are available for grade-level and EOC assessments.

In a right triangle, sin⁡α=725\sin\alpha = \dfrac{7}{25} and cos⁡α=2425\cos\alpha = \dfrac{24}{25}. What is tan⁡α\tan\alpha?

tan⁡α=sin⁡αcos⁡α=7252425=725⋅2524=724\tan\alpha = \dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha} = \dfrac{\dfrac{7}{25}}{\dfrac{24}{25}} = \dfrac{7}{25} \cdot \dfrac{25}{24} = \dfrac{7}{24}.

In a 30∘30^{\circ}-60∘60^{\circ}-90∘90^{\circ} triangle, the hypotenuse is 16.16\textsf{.} What is the short leg?

In a 30∘30^{\circ}-60∘60^{\circ}-90∘90^{\circ} triangle, the short leg is half the hypotenuse: 162=8.\dfrac{16}{2} = 8\textsf{.}

In a 4545-4545-9090 triangle one leg is 77. What is the other leg?

Both legs of a 4545-4545-9090 triangle are equal, so the other leg is 77.

In the standard coordinate plane, how many points are both 55 units from the origin and also exactly 33 units from the line x=0x = 0?

Points 55 units from the origin satisfy x2+y2=25x^{2} + y^{2} = 25. Being exactly 33 units from x=0x = 0 means ∣x∣=3|x| = 3, so x=3x = 3 or x=−3x = -3. Substituting gives y2=16y^{2} = 16, so y=4y = 4 or y=−4y = -4 for each xx-value. That yields (3,4)(3, 4), (3,−4)(3, -4), (−3,4)(-3, 4), and (−3,−4)(-3, -4): 44 points.

A 77-foot-tall basketball hoop casts a shadow 1414 feet long. At the same time, a brick chimney casts a shadow 2020 feet long. How tall is the chimney, in feet?

Set up 714=h20\dfrac{7}{14} = \dfrac{h}{20}. Cross-multiply: 14h=14014h = 140, so h=10h = 10 feet.

In a right triangle, sin⁡θ=1213\sin\theta = \dfrac{12}{13} and tan⁡θ=125\tan\theta = \dfrac{12}{5}. What is cos⁡θ\cos\theta?

cos⁡θ=sin⁡θtan⁡θ=1213125=1213⋅512=513\cos\theta = \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\tan\theta} = \dfrac{\dfrac{12}{13}}{\dfrac{12}{5}} = \dfrac{12}{13} \cdot \dfrac{5}{12} = \dfrac{5}{13}.
