Larson Geometry Reference – Chapter 9 Definitions Term/Concept *Angle of Depression *Angle of Elevation *Geometric Mean Description The angle that a downward line of sight makes with a horizontal line. The angle that an upward line of sight makes with a horizontal line. The geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x that satisfies the proportion *Pythagorean Triple Solving a Right Triangle Sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse Some = old/horse Caught = a/horse Taking = oats/away 2 . 2 Consists of three positive integers a, b, c such that a + b = c . The name comes from the Pythagorean theorem, which states that any right triangle with integer side lengths yields a Pythagorean triple. The converse is also true: every Pythagorean triple determines a right triangle with the given side lengths. (3, 4, 5) (5, 12, 13) (8, 15, 17) (7, 24, 25) To solve a right triangle you need to find all the unknown side lengths and the unknown angle measures. The ratio of the leg opposite angle A and the hypotenuse of the triangle. It is the measure of the leg opposite to angle A divided by the length of the hypotenuse, assuming A is not a right angle B BC Opposite Old AB Hypotenuse Horse C A The ratio of the leg adjacent to angle A and the hypotenuse of the triangle. It is the measure of the leg adjacent to angle A divided by the length hypotenuse, assuming A is not a right angle B cos( A) Tan(A) = opposite/adjacent and 2 sin A Cos(A) = adjacent/hypotenuse . Solving for x we have AC Adjacent A AB Hypotenuse Horse C A The ratio of the leg opposite angle A and the leg adjacent to angle A. It is the measure of the leg opposite to angle A divided by the length of the leg adjacent angle A, assuming A is not a right angle.

Cos-1(A)=Inverse Cosine=Arc Cosine The ratio of the hypotenuse and the leg adjacent to angle A. It is the measure of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the leg adjacent to angle A. It is used to find the angle when the lengths of the sides are known. Tan-1(A)=Inverse Tangent = Arc Tangent The ratio of the leg adjacent to angle A, and the leg opposite angle A. It is the measure of the length of the leg opposite to angle A divided by the length of the leg adjacent to angle A. It is used to find the angle when the lengths of the sides are know. Trigonometric Ratio A ratio of the lengths of two sides in a right triangle that are related to a trigonometric function. Larson Geometry Reference – Chapter 9 Formulas Term/Concept Description The area of any triangle is given by one-half the product of the lengths of two sides times the sine of their included angle. Area of a Triangle B c a A C b Given ∆ABC with a, b and c representing the measures of sides opposite angles with measures Law of Cosines A, B, and C, respectively. These equations are true: a 2 b 2 c 2 2bc cos( A) B b 2 a 2 c 2 2ac cos( B) c c 2 a 2 b 2 2ab cos(C ) A a b C Given ∆ABC with a, b and c representing the measures of sides opposite angles with measures Law of Sines A, B, and C, respectively. The following equality is true: sin( A) sin( B) sin( C ) a b c Theorems Theorems Pythagorean Theorem Pythagorean Theorem Converse *Pythagorean Inequalities Theorem *Right Triangle Similarity *Geometric Mean Altitude Theorem *Geometric Mean Leg Theorem *45-45-90 Triangle Theorem *30-60-90 Triangle Theorem In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs equals the square of the measure of the hypotenuse. If the sum of the squares of the measures of two sides of a triangle equals the square of the measure of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle. For any triangle ABC where c is the length of the longest side then: If acute, if then the triangle is then the triangle is obtuse. If an altitude is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to its hypotenuse, then the two triangles formed are similar to the given triangle and to each other. In a right triangle, the altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse. In a right triangle, the altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2 times as long as a leg. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is as long as the shorter leg. 3 times
