TRIGONOMETRY Introduction Knowledge of the sines and cosines of angles other than acute angles is needed within this unit to allow students to use the Sine and Cosine Rules in obtuse angled triangles. The tangent is included for completeness. An investigative approach, using the sine, cosine and tangent graphs, could be taken, though it should be noted that formal knowledge of the graphs is not required until Mathematics 3. Exercise 1A takes the students through the drawing of y = sin x°, y = cos x° and y = tan x°. Exercise 1A may now be attempted. The class/group should then discuss when graph is positive and when negative. A summary table of results could then be drawn up, for example: y = sin x° positive when negative when 0 < x < 180 180 < x < 360 y = cos x° positive when negative when 0 < x < 90 and 270 < x < 360 90 < x < 270 y = tan x° positive when negative when 0 < x < 90 and 180 < x < 270 90 < x < 180 and 270 < x < 360 This should lead to SIN ALL TAN COS A class set of graphic calculators will enable students to complete this introduction quickly. Have students use their trigonometric calculators to look up various trig ratios such as sin 20°, cos 150°, tan 210° etc, each time checking with their graphs as to the validity of their results. (i.e the sign each time). Exercise 1B may now be attempted. Mathematics Support Materials: Mathematics 2 (Int 2) - Staff Notes 3 B A. Area of a triangle using trigonometry Students should be taken through the development of the formula: a h Area = 1/2 ab sin C by starting with: D C Area = 1/2 b x h and showing that in triangle BCD, => => sin C = h/a Area = 1/2 b x (a sin C) => => h = a sin C Area = 1/2 ab sin C Go over an example with different named vertices. => Area = 1/2 qr sin P => Area = 1/2 8 x 12 x sin 29° => Area = 23á3 cm2 A b R 8 cm 29° P 12 cm Q Exercise 2 may now be attempted Throughout this unit, students should be encouraged to make effective use of their calculators and avoid premature rounding.

A brief revision of right angled triangle trigonometry should follow with a few examples ending with the following: C x 10 x = 10 x sin 25° x = 4á23 cm sin 25° = => => 10 cm x cm 80° 25° B A A slight variation can now be introduced to the above example. C Students should realise that the above method will not work here because it is no longer a right angled triangle. 10 cm x cm 25° B A Encourage students to develop the idea of dropping a perpendicular from C to AB, meeting it at point D and studying the two right angled triangles instead. Go through this process with the above example and, once accepted, let students attempt Qu 2(a) from Exercise 3 using this method. C Develop the Sine Rule with the students. => => => => in triangle ADC h = b sin A and in triangle BDC h = a sin B combining these 2 results a sin B = b sin A a sin A = b sin B b a h D A => by symmetry to B c a sin A Mathematics Support Materials: Mathematics 2 (Int 2) - Staff Notes = b sin B = c sin C 5 The initial example can now be solved using the Sine rule to calculate a missing side. a b c sin A = sin B = sin C C 10 cm x cm => => x 10 = sin 25° sin 80° x sin 80° = 10 x sin 25° x = 10 sin 25° sin 80° => 80° 25° => B A x = 4á29 cm Exercise 3, questions 1 to 4, may now be attempted.

The initial question can now be solved. => => => => => => a2 a2 a2 a2 a2 a = b2 + c2 Ð (2bc cosA) = 92 + 102 Ð (2 x 9 x 10 x cos32°) = 81 + 100 Ð (180 x 0á848..) = 181 Ð 152á64.. = 28á35... = 5á32 cm C 9 cm x cm 32° 10 cm A B Exercise 4A, questions 1 and 2, may now be attempted.

Students should understand that when the cosine is negative, the angle must be obtuse. However, not all calculators will give the obtuse angle immediately. At this point, ask the students to feed in Ð0á555... into their calculators and press Ôcos Ð1Õ => => either 123á7° appears and there is no problem or Ð56á3° appears and the student should be told to simply +180° to get the correct answer of 123á7°.
