1 Finding the Missing Side Practice

2 25 o 40 ft x What do we know? Finding the Missing Side Step-by-Step

3 25 o 40 ft x What do we want to know? Finding the Missing Side Step-by-Step We know: angle and opposite side

4 25 o 40 ft x Which trigonometric ratio do we use? Finding the Missing Side Step-by-Step We know: angle and opposite side We want to know: hypotenuse

5 25 o 40 ft x Set up and solve your proportion? Finding the Missing Side Step-by-Step We know: angle and opposite side We want to know: hypotenuse We sill use: sin

6 25 o 40 ft x Set up and solve your proportion? Finding the Missing Side Step-by-Step We know: angle and opposite side We want to know: hypotenuse We sill use: sin

7 46.9 meters x 54 o What do we know?

8 46.9 meters x 54 o What do we want to know? We know: angle and hypotenuse

9 46.9 meters x 54 o Which trig ratio do we use? We know: angle and hypotenuse We want to know : adjacent side

10 46.9 meters x 54 o Set up and solve the proportion? We know: angle and hypotenuse We want to know : adjacent side We will use: cos

11 46.9 meters x 54 o Set up and solve the proportion? We know: angle and hypotenuse We want to know : adjacent side We will use: cos

12 Using Trigonometric Ratios to Solve Problems Problem: A forest ranger must estimate the height of a tree. He stands 10 feet from the base of the tree and measures his angle of inclination at 62 o. What does this situation look like?
