Trigonometry in Geometry

 

Objective:

            • Learning about tangent, sine, and cosine rations for an acute angle

          • Using tangent, sine, and cosine rations to solve right triangle problems

 

Lesson 8-2 Trigonometry in Geometry:

            Tangent Ratio: The measure of the leg opposite of the angle over the measure of the leg adjacent of the angle.

  

  Tangent of / A = (Leg opposite / A )/ (Adjacent leg / A)

 

  Tangent of / A = 3/4

            Sine: The measure of the leg opposite of the angle over the measure of hypotenuse

  Sine of / A = (Leg opposite / A )/ Hypotenuse

Sine of / A = 4/5

 

             Cosine: The measure of the leg adjacent to the angle over the measure of the hypotenuse

  cosine of / A = (Leg adjacent to / A )/ Hypotenuse

cosine of / A = 3/5

 

Easy way to remember trigonometric ratios:

   Soh, Cah, Toa     or    Oh Heck, Another Hour of Algebra

 

Sin A= Opp/ hyp

Cos A= Adj/ hyp

Tan A= Opp/ adj
