Objectives
• CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-SRT.C.6 Understand that by
similarity, side ratios in right triangles are
properties of the angles in the triangle, leading
to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute
angles.
• CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-SRT.C.7 Explain and use the
relationship between the sine and cosine of
complementary angles.
• CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-SRT.C.8 Use trigonometric
ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right
triangles in applied problems.

What is a triangle?
• A triangle is a polygon made up of three
connected line segments in such a way that each
side is connected to the other two.

Right triangles
• A right triangle is a special triangle that has
one of its angles a right angle.
• You can tell it is a right triangle when when one
angle measures 900 or the right angle is marked
by a little square on the angle whose measure is
900.

Hypotenuse
• The longest side of a right triangle is the
hypotenuse.
• The hypotenuse lies directly opposite the right
angle.
• The legs may be equal in length or one may be
longer than the other.

Pythagorean Theorem...
• The right triangle has a special property, called
the Pythagorean Theorem, that can help us find
one side if we know the other two sides.

If the lengths of hypotenuse and legs are c, a
and b respectively, then c2 a2 b2

adjacent side or the opposite side, depending on
the reference acute angle.

Adjacent or opposite from an acute reference
angle refers only to legs and not the hypotenuse

Trigonometric ratios of an acute angles of a
right triangle
• The ratios of the sides of a right triangle have
special names.
• There are three basic ones we will consider
• sine
• cosine
• tangent

BACK
CLICK TO CONTINUE
37
The sine of an acute angle...
• Let the lengths of legs be a and b, and the
length of the hypotenuse be c. A is an acute
angle.

With reference to angle A, the ratio of the
length of the side opposite angle A to length of
the hypotenuse is defined as sine A
a/c Sine A is abbreviated Sin A. Thus, sin A
a/c.
BACK
CLICK TO CONTINUE
38
The cosine of an acute angle...
• Let the lengths of legs be a and b, and the
length of the hypotenuse be c. A is an acute
angle.

With reference to angle A, the ratio of the
length of the side adjacent to angle A to length
of the hypotenuse is defined as cosine A
b/c Cosine A is abbreviated to Cos
A. Thus, cos A b/c.
CLICK TO CONTINUE
BACK
39
The tangent of an acute angle...
• Let the lengths of legs be a and b, and the
length of the hypotenuse be c. A is an acute
angle.

With reference to angle A, the ratio of the
length of the side opposite to angle A to length
of the side adjacent to angle A is defined
as tangent A a/b tangent A is
abbreviated Tan A. Thus, tan A a/b

Angle or Side Lengths?
• Does the trig ratio depend on the size of the
angle or size of the side length?
• Let us consider similar triangles in our
investigation.

BACK

46
Find the trig ratios of each...
Remember SOHCAHTOA!
• Compute the ratios and make a conjecture

sin 36.870 ? 0.6 6/10 0.6 9/15 0.6
cos 36.870 ? 0.8 8/10 0.8 12/15 0.8
tan 36.870 ¾ 0.75 6/8 0.75 9/12 0.75

Conjecture Trigonometric ratios are a property
of similarity (angles) and not of the length of
the sides of a right triangle.
CLICK TO CONTINUE
47
Computed Trig Ratios ...
• The trig ratios are used so often that technology
makes these values readily available in the form
of tables and on scientific calculators.
• We will now show you how to use your calculator
to find some trig ratios.
• Grab a scientific calculator and try it out.

How to find trig values on calculator
• Each calculator brand may work a little
differently, but the results will be the same.
• Look for the trig functions on your calculator
sin, cos and tan
• select the trig ratio of your choice followed by
the angle in degrees and execute (enter).
• example sin 30 will display 0.5
• on some calculators you may have to type in the
angle first then the ratio
• example 30 sin will display 0.5

Given an angle, use calculator to evaluate trig
ratio

cosine and tangent of the following angles are
correct (to 4 decimals)

Going backwards finding angles when we know a
trig ratio
• We can use the reverse operation of a trig ratio
to find the angle with the known trig ratio (n/m)
• The inverse trig ratios are as follows
• Inverse of sin (n/m) is sin-1(n/m)
• Inverse of cos (n/m) is cos-1(n/m)
• Inverse of tan (n/m) is tan-1(n/m)

CLICK TO CONTINUE
BACK
52
Example inverse operation (sin A)
• Suppose we know the trig ratio and we want to
find the associated angle A.
• From SOHCAHTOA, we know that from the angle A, we
have the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
• Therefore the SOH part helps us to know that we
use sin A O/H 4/5
• The inverse is thus sin-1(4/5) A
• A Sin-1 (4/5) 53.13o

BACK
CLICK TO CONTINUE
53
Example inverse operation (cos B)
• Suppose we know the trig ratio and we want to
find the associated angle B.
• From SOHCAHTOA, we know that from the angle B, we
have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.
• Therefore the CAH part helps us to know that we
use cos A A/H 4/5
• The inverse is thus cos-1(4/5) B
• B cos-1 (4/5) 36.87o

BACK
CLICK TO CONTINUE
54
Example inverse operation (tan A)
• Suppose we know the trig ratio and we want to
find the associated angle A.
• From SOHCAHTOA, we know that from the angle A, we
have the opposite side and the adjacent side.
• Therefore the TOA part helps us to know that we
use tan A O/A 4/3
• The inverse is thus tan-1(4/3) A
• A tan-1 (4/3) 53.13o
