Selah High Senior, Kyle Washut, has won the designation 2008 TRIG-STAR for Selah High School in a contest sponsored by the Cascade Columbia Chapter of the Land Surveyors of Washington.
A TRIG-STAR is a mathematics student who has demonstrated in competition that they are the most skilled among classmates in the practical application of trigonometry. The competition for the honor is simply a timed exercise, which is the solving of a trigonometry problem that incorporates the use of right triangle formulas, circle formulas, the law of sines, and the law of cosines. The contest helps to promote careers in surveying and mapping to students at high schools across the country.
Kyle received a $50 cash award for first place locally and advanced to the State level competition in which he took fourth place.
