Trigonometry Trigonometry: the study of the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles. Focusing specifically on right triangles.

Right Triangle and its Parts SIX Parts 3 angles 1 right angle (90°) 2 acute 3 Sides 1 Hypotenuse 2 legs The hypotenuse is ALWAYS opposite to the right angle and also the largest side. Remember!

The BIG Three Trig Sine (sin) – like a “sign” Cosine (cos) “co-sign” Tangent (tan)

Sine (sin) Sin of angle X= length of opposite leg of ∠𝑥 length of hypotenuse

Cosine (cos) Cos of angle X: length of adjecent leg ∠𝑥 length of hypotenuse

Tangent (tan) Tan of angle X: length of opposite leg ∠𝑥 length of adjacent leg ∠𝑥

What is Radians? Radians are like degrees except with a different unit Conversion like feet to inches The unit it Pi 𝜋=180° Questions with radians will ask you to set up the ratio without solving

SWITCH CALCULATOR MODE!!! Radian Practice SWITCH CALCULATOR MODE!!! 𝑇𝑎𝑛 2𝜋 7 = 𝑥 4 Cos 𝜋 5 = 10 𝑥

Dealing with Radians Two Options: 1. Change mode of calculator to radians. 2. Convert radians to degrees, then complete calculation using degrees. How to Convert Radian to Degrees (not going to be tested, but you may have to do it to complete a question): Radians to Degrees Degrees to Radians Multiply by 180 𝜋 Multiply by 𝜋 180 Plug in 180 where you see 𝜋 & vice-versa TIP!

Using Trigonometry Ratios to find Missing Angles Objectives -Find the angle of Elevation or Depression in a Right Triangle Vocabulary: - Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression Assignments:

Angle of Elevation VS Depression Definition of Angle of Elevation. The word "elevation" means "rise" or "move up". Angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal and the line of sight to an object above the horizontal 2. Definition of Angle of Depression. The word "depression" means "fall" or "drop". Angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal and the line of sight to an object beneath the horizontal. Take a look at the example below.

Missing Angle/Inverse These questions do not ask for the side length, they give you the sides but they ask for the angle measure These questions require using the INVERSE of sin, cos or tan. The inverse gives us the value of the angle measure A sin −1 𝑜𝑝𝑝 ℎ𝑦𝑝 =𝐴 𝐜𝐨𝐬 −1 𝐚𝐝𝐣 ℎ𝑦𝑝 =𝐴 𝐭𝐚 𝐧 −𝟏 𝑜𝑝𝑝 𝐚𝐝𝐣 =𝐴

Finding the Missing Angle: The Steps

Using the Calculator for ANGLE Make sure your Calculator is in “Degrees” Then, type the angle measure number value Click “SHIFT” Choose and click Sin, Cos, Tan For ANGLE measure always use SHIFT, function TIP!

This means TWO decimal places Warm-Up Directions: Find the value of the missing variable. Round to the nearest 100th place. sin −1 (0.54) cos −1 (0.1234) tan −1 (1.76) sin −1 (0.135) This means TWO decimal places =32.68 =82.92 =60.40 =7.76
