Daily Check For the triangle at the right, find the sine, cosine, and tangent of angle z. Math II UNIT QUESTION: What patterns can I find in right triangles? Standard: MM2G1, MM2G2 Today’s Question: How do you use trig ratios to find the all the missing parts of a triangle? Standard: MM2G2.a,b Opp Leg Sin Hyp Adj Leg Cos Hyp Opp Leg Tan Adj Leg hypotenuse adjacent opposite opposite Using a Calculator If you know the value of a specific trig ratio for an unknown angle, you can calculate the measure of the angle. For example, if for the triangle below 3 8 SinB .375 SinB 8 3 B On most calculators written above the Sin, Cos and Tan buttons are: Sin 1 , Cos 1 , Tan 1 These are used to find the angle when you already know the value for the ratio. On the calculator there will be a button, sometimes it reads “2nd”, that will need to be pushed before you push the Sin, Cos or Tan button. This button will allow you to do the function above the button. Using a Calculator 3 SinB 8 SinB .375 On the calculator enter 0.375 the hit the “2nd” button and then the “Sin” button. Sin 1 0.375 22.02 The number 22.02 should be displayed. This is the angle that has a Sin value of 0.375 Then, that means 8 3 B On a graphics calculators you will enter it just like it reads in the equation. Sin 1 0.375 B 22.02 Then you can calculate the angle value. Problem-Solving Strategies Scenario 1) You are given 2 sides of the triangle. Find the other side and the two acute angles.

If you are standing on the ground and looking up at a hot air balloon, the angle that you look up from ground level is called the angle of elevation. If someone is in the hot air balloon and looks down to the ground to see you, the angle that they have to lower their eyes, from looking straight ahead, is called the angle of depression. Balloon Angle of depression Angle of elevation You Angle of Elevation/Depression If you look up 15º to see the balloon, then the person in the balloon has to look down 15º to see you on the ground. Angle of elevation = Angle of depression. Balloon Angle of depression = 15º Angle of elevation= 15º You Notice that in this situation, the one of the legs that forms the right angle is also the height of the balloon. Draw a Picture When solving math problems, it can be very helpful to draw a picture of the situation if none is given. Here is an example. Find the missing sides and angles for Triangle FRY. Given that angle Y is the right angle, f = 68, and y = 88. F 88 r The picture helps to visualize what we know and what we want to find! Y R 68
