Definitions will be given for cosecant, secant and cotangent. Definition: If we consider angle ABC (labeled ), we can define the hypotenuse to be side BC, the adjacent side (next to angle ) to be side AB and the opposite side (opposite the angle ) to be side AC. Opposite AC = 16.41 cm A mBCA = 21.00 C mBAC = 90.00 BA = 6.30 cm Adjacent to BC = 17.57 cm mABC = 69.00 Hypotenuse 1) Please calculate the following ratios for the right triangle above.

Be sure your calculator is in degree mode (type mode then go over to degree instead of radian). a) Sin ( ) = .9336 b) Cosine ( ) .3584 c) Tangent ( ) 2.6051 3) Do you notice anything about your calculations for question 1 and 2? Explain in full detail the relationships that you found. Opposite = .934, Hypotenuse Adjacent Opposite Cosine ( ) .358, and Tangent ( ) 2.605. Hypotenuse Adjacent In the above calculations, I noticed that Sin ( ) = 4) On graph paper (or with sketchpad), create your own right triangle and see if the relationships that you found in question 3 are still true. Opposite AC = 14.32 cm A mBCA = 21.58 C mBAC = 90.00 BA = 5.66 cm Adjacent to BC = 15.40 cm mABC = 68.42 Hypotenuse B Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 8 5) Were the relationships discovered in question 3 still true. Why or why not? Please explain with calculations. Calculations may vary depending on the triangle chosen above. However, they should see that the relationships are still true and should provide calculations as shown below. Opposite .9299 Hypotenuse Adjacent cos( ) .3678 Hypotenuse Opposite tan( ) 2.528 Adjacent Sin( ) 6) Please write a general rule for the relationships that you found. See definition below. Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 9 Definition: You have discovered SOHCAHTOA or opposite adjacent opposite . sin , cos , and tan hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent The trig functions above are pronounced “sine, cosine and tangent”, respectively. There are three additional trigonometric functions “cosecant, secant and cotangent” that are found by inverting each of the three above functions. Therefore, we also have that 1 hypotenuse 1 hypotenuse 1 adjacent csc , sec , and cot . sin opposite cos adjacent tan opposite 7) Please summarize in detail what you learned in this lesson. I would expect them to write about the relationships of sine, cosine and tangent given above. In addition, they should also mention the newly defined cosecant, secant and cotangent. They should mention that they also learned how to define the side opposite and adjacent to an angle. They may also mention that they learned how to calculate sine, cosine and tangent of a given angle. Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 10 Extension 1: Using the original triangle (from page 1), set angle BCA = , then find the trigonometric relations for . Don’t forget to rename your opposite and adjacent sides based on . Opposite .9299 Hypotenuse Adjacent cos( ) .3678 Hypotenuse Opposite tan( ) 2.528 Adjacent Sin( ) Extension 2: Now compare the trigonometric ratios for and . (Remember that we found these in Extension 1 and in problem 3). Do you notice any connection between these trigonometric ratios? I notice that sin( ) cos( ) and cos( ) sin( ) . However, this is not true for the tangent a b function because for a b . b a Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 11 Extension 3: Suppose we had another right triangle as shown below. Notice this triangle also has angles measuring 90, 21 and 69 degrees. Opposite A BA = 3.36 cm Adjacent to AC = 8.75 cm mBCA = 21.00 C mBAC = 90.00 mABC = 69.00 BC = 9.38 cm Hypotenuse B Question: Set up three trigonometric ratios using involving all three sides of the triangle above. AC Sin( ) .9328 BC AB Cos ( ) .3582 BC AC tan( ) 2.604 AB a. Do you notice any similarities in the calculations for this triangle and the triangle given in exercise 1? Yes. b. What are the similarities specifically? Please explain. I notice that I have the exact same proportion for my sides as shown above. c) Why do you think this would happen (think back)? This would happen because both the triangle in exercise one and the triangle given in this extension have 90, 21 and 69 degree angles. Therefore, the triangles are similar due to AA similarity. This implies that both of the triangles must have the same proportion and thus will have the same sine, cosine and tangent values for their angles. Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 12 Solutions to Lesson 5: Investigation of Trig Ratios Homework 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) AA similarity; the third angle will be the same for both. B X=2.74 K=2.94 23.09 7.71 Hypotenuse = 2922.16 km is not at least 4 km. So the ship is in danger. Solutions to Lesson 6: Investigation of Inverse Trig Ratios Investigation of Inverse Trig functions This investigation will rely on previously discovered trigonometric ratios and will focus on leading students to understand how to use the inverse of trigonometric functions to find angles of a right triangle. Practical applications will also be studied. Suppose we do not know the measure of angle A (labeled ) or the measure of angle C (labeled ) in the triangle below. We want to be able to find these angles but we only know the lengths of the sides of the right triangle. Using SOHCAHTOA (as was previously discovered), we will find the missing angles. BC = 6.27 cm B mABC = 90.00 C BA = 4.82 cm AC = 7.90 cm A Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 13 Definition: We need to know that given sin A a a , we can find A by taking sin 1 . This means that b b a sin 1 A. This definition will also be true for any of the other trigonometric functions. b 1) By SOHCAHTOA, we know that sin BC 6.27 0.79. AC 7.90 a) Find using the definition above. 52.53 (Or close depending on roundoff error). b) Use the information given in the right triangle above to set up a similar equation for cos ine to find angle . cos( ) 4.82 .6101 7.90 c) Does this also give you the same value for angle ? 52.40 d) If the tangent function is used to find angle , do you think you will find the same number for as we previously found? Show the details of your calculation for the tangent function below. Yes, I do think I will get the same values as for sine and cosine. We know that 6.27 tan( ) and so 52.45 . 4.82 1) Now use sine, cosine or tangent, to find the measure of angle . 4.82 6.27 4.82 , cos( ) , or tan( ) . Then = 7.90 7.9 6.27 37.6 (or close depending on roundoff errors). They could set up either sin( ) Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 14 2) What if I had a right triangle but only knew two (of the three) side lengths. For example, in the triangle above, suppose I know that angle is 90 degrees, side length BC = 6.27 and side AC = 7.90. Do I need to know the length of side AB or can I find the length of AB somehow? Please explain below. I only need two side lengths of a right triangle because I can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find side AB. This means that AB (7.9) 2 (6.27) 2 23.0971 4.8 by the Pythagorean Theorem. This is what the length of AB was in the original triangle. 3) Summarize what you learned in this lesson. I would expect them to state that they learned how to find angles inside a right triangle by using the inverse sine, cosine and tangent functions. They may mention that all three trig functions gave the same angle measure inside. They also learned that they only need two side lengths of a right triangle to find the angle inside. Extension 1: An airplane flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet is headed toward an airport. To guide the airplane to a safe landing, the airport’s landing system sends radar signals from the runway to the airplane at a 10 degree angle of elevation. How far is the airplane (measured along the ground) from the airport runway? Hint: Set up a trigonometric equation (using SOHCAHTOA) and solve for the unknown variable. (Be sure you are in degree mode on your calculator. Type mode, then go over to degree from radians). A 30,000 ft. 10 degrees B C Solution: 30, 000 (where H stands for the hypotenuse) should have set up. This H 30, 000 implies that H 17, 276.31 feet. This means that the airplane is 17,276.3 feet from sin(10) the landing strip. The equation sin(10) Project AMP Dr. Antonio Quesada - Director, Project AMP 15 Extension 2: You are standing 75 meters from the base of the Jin Mao Building in Shanghai, China. You estimate that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 80 degrees. What is the approximate height of the building? Suppose one of your friends is at the top of the building. What is the distance between you and your friend? (Be sure you are in degree mode on your calculator. Type mode, then go over to degree from radians). Solution: There are a few different ways to answer this question. Opposite 75 The student could have set up either cos(80) or tan(80) . Then they 75 Hypotenuse would find that the Hypotenuse = 431.9 meters or the Opposite side = 425.35 meters. It is possible that the student only set up one equation and then used the Pythagorean theorem to find the other side. The hypotenuse gives the distance between my friend and I and the opposite side gives the height of the building. Therefore, the 431.9 meters is the distance between me and my friend and 425.35 is the height of the building.
