Geometry, 9.9: Intro to Trigonometry (Sine, Cosine, Tangent)
For a right triangle, given one of the non-right angles,
each side has a 'name':
We know two special triangle 'patterns':
45-45 triangles...
30-60 triangles...
Ratio of opposite side to hypotenuse:
Ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse:
Ratio of opposite side to adjacent side:
The ratio depends on the angle, but not on the size of the triangle. These ratios are called
trigonometric ratios:
To help remember:
opposite
sine of ∠A = sin A =
hypotenuse
cosine of ∠A = cos A =
adjacent
hypotenuse
tangent of ∠A = tan A =
opposite
adjacent
