1 Using the Sine, Cosine and Tangent Rules Objective: To relate the sine, cosine and tangent functions with the sides of a triangle to create rules. Use the rules to calculate the missing side length of a triangle.

2 RECAP Task  Independent effort  No communication  Reading Time: 3 minutes  Writing: 2 minutes

3 TASK: (2 mins). Talk to the person ‘adjacent’ to you about the information below…. Use Pythagoras Theorem to calculate the missing side length, x. Will this method work??? Explain why or why not.

4 Objective of today’s class  Today, we will relate the sine, cosine and tangent to the O,A and H sides of the triangle and create 3 rules.  We will use these 3 rules to calculate the missing side length in a right-angled triangle.

5 Sine Rule (SOH)

6 Cosine Rule (CAH)

7 Tangent Rule (TOA)

8 An easy way to remember:  SOH CAH TOA  Simply tells you the 2 sides and the function

9 How do we write the rules?  EXAMPLE  For the triangle below, write the Sine rule (Label as O A H first) Answer

10 You Tube video Finding the side length using Sine, Cos and Tangent Finding the side length using Sine, Cos and Tangent  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWIyWssa7aY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWIyWssa7aY

11 Complete Worksheet 2

12 EXAMPLE: Use the rules to calculate the missing side length, x.  Label the sides as O, A and H  List the information given  Select the rule that uses the information listed.  Replace with numbers and solve.

13 Work Set  Complete worksheet 3
