7.6 Apply Sine and Cosine Ratios
Goal: To use trigonometric ratios for indirect
measurements of right triangles.
Trigonometry
• Derived from Greek words, “trigonon" which means
triangle, and "metria” which means measure.
•
Trigonon metria = “triangle measurement”
•
Sine - comes from the Latin word sinus meaning a curve or
fold.
•
Cosine - was originally written "co.sine," short for
COMPLEMENTI SINUS: the sine of the complementary angle.
•
Tangent - comes from the Latin word tangens which is a
straight line which touches a circle at one point.

You want to build a skateboard ramp with a length of 14
feet and an angle of elevation of 26°. You need to find the
height and length of the base of the ramp.

• The angle of elevation of an object as seen by
an observer is the angle between the horizontal
and the line from the object to the observer's
eye (the line of sight).
• If the object is below the level of the observer,
then the angle between the horizontal and the
observer's line of sight is called the angle of
depression.

Since Mount Everest is 29, 029 feet tall, how
far was Mr. Sharma from the mountain, if his
angle of elevation was 55°?
20,326.3 feet
Mr. Sharma is looking up at the waterfall in
Angel, Salto – Venezuela, which is 3,212 feet
tall, and has an angle of elevation of 82°. He
wants to know the distance that his line of sight
makes to the top of the waterfall?
