Trigonometric Ratios MM2G2. Students will define and apply sine, cosine, and tangent ratios to right triangles. MM2G2a: Discover the relationship of the trigonometric ratios for similar triangles. Trigonometric Ratios MM2G2b: Explain the relationship between the trigonometric ratios of complementary angles. MM2G2c: Solve application problems using the trigonometric ratios. Warm Up Put 4 30-60-90 triangles with the following sides listed and have students determine the missing lengths. 30 S 5 2 7√3 √2 90 H 10 4 14√3 2√2 60 L 5√3 2√3 21 √6 Or Warm Up Put 4 3-4-5 triangles on the board and ask: Are these triangles right triangles? How do you know? Are they similar? How do you know? Trigonometric Ratios Talk about adjacent and opposite sides: have the kids line up on the wall and pass something from one to another adjacent and opposite in the room. Make a string triangle and talk about adjacent and opposite some more Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent NOTE: Greek letters are often used to designate the angle when using trigonometry. Greek letters that are popular are: α, β, θ, and φ NOTE: If the angles are designated by a capital letter, the sides opposite that angle are often designated by the same letter in lower case. Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent Calculate the ratio of opposite/adjacent In a right triangle, this ratio is called “Tangent” Please do not confuse this tangent with the tangent of a curve. Same word, different meaning. length _ of _ the _ side _ opposite _ to _ the _ angle tan length _ of _ the _ side _ adjacent _ to _ the _ angle opposite tan adjacent Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent Align the triangles with the angle of interest at the origin of the Cartesian Coordinate System. Opposite can be thought of as “rise” Adjacent can be thought of as “run” Look at the ratio of opposite divided by adjacent Opposite divided by adjacent can be thought of as slope The following slides have been come from the following sources: www.mccd.edu/faculty/bruleym/.../trigo nometric%20ratios http://ux.brookdalecc.edu/fac/cos/lschm elz/Math%20151/ www.scarsdaleschools.k12.ny.us /202120915213753693/lib/…/trig.ppt Emily Freeman McEachern High School Trigonometric Ratios in Right Triangles M.

Trigonometric functions are defined by taking the ratios of sides of a right triangle. adjacent c First let’s look at the three basic functions. leg b SINE leg a COSINE TANGENT They are abbreviated using their first 3 letters opposite a opposite a sin tan hypotenuse c adjacent b adjacent b cos hypotenuse c The Trigonometric Functions SINE COSINE TANGENT SINE Prounounced “sign” COSINE Prounounced “co-sign” TANGENT Prounounced “tan-gent” Greek Letter q Pronounced “theta” Represents an unknown angle Greek Letter α Pronounced “alpha” Represents an unknown angle Greek Letter β Pronounced “Beta” Represents an unknown angle Opp Sin Hyp Adj Cos Hyp Opp Tan Adj hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent opposite We need a way to remember all of these ratios… What is SohCahToa? Is it in a tree, is it in a car, is it in the sky or is it from the deep blue sea ? This is an example of a sentence using the word SohCahToa. I kicked a chair in the middle of the night and my first thought was I need to SohCahToa. An example of an acronym for SohCahToa. Seven old horses Crawled a hill To our attic..

Oh How Can Anyone Have Trouble Over Academics. We could ask for the trig functions of the angle by using the definitions. You MUST get them memorized. Here is a mnemonic to help you. c The sacred Jedi word: b SOHCAHTOA adjacent a opposite b sin hypotenuse c adjacent a cos hypotenuse c opposite b tan adjacent a It is important to note WHICH angle you are talking about when you find the value of the trig function. c 5 4b Let's try finding some trig functions with some numbers. Remember that sides of a right triangle follow the Pythagorean Theorem so a b c 2 2 2 adjacent a3 sin = o 3 h 5 Let's choose: tan = o 4 a 3 32 4 2 5 2 Use a mnemonic and figure out which sides of the triangle you need for tangent. sine. You need to pay attention to which angle you want the trig function of so you know which side is opposite that angle and which side is adjacent to it. The hypotenuse will always be the longest side and will always be opposite the right angle. Oh, I'm acute! This method only applies if you have a right triangle and is only for the acute angles (angles less than 90°) in the triangle. 5 4 3 So am I!
