3. WHAT IS “TRIGONOMETRY”? Trigonometry deals with triangles. The word trigonometry actually comes from the Greek words trigon meaning—no big surprise here—triangle, and metron meaning something like “measure.” Trigonometry is all about figuring out clever ways to measure and calculate the properties of the components of triangles—namely their three sides and three angles.

4. IN A RIGHT TRIANGLE… There are ratios we can use to determine side lengths. These ratios are constant, no matter what the lengths for the sides of the triangle are. These ratios are called trigonometric ratios. Three of the trigonometric ratios are: Sine (sin) Cosine (cos) Tangent (tan)
