Trigonometric Ratios Section 5.2- 5.3
3
Standards MM2G2. Students will define and apply sine, cosine, and tangent ratios to right triangles. Discover the relationship of the trigonometric ratios for similar triangles.
4
Essential Question How do I find the sine, the cosine, and the tangent of an acute angle?
5
Vocabulary Trigonometric ratio – a ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle. Three basic trigonometric ratios: Sine (abbreviation: sin) Cosine (abbreviation: cos) Tangent (abbreviation: tan)
6
Trigonometric Ratios Let ∆ABC be a right triangle. The sine, the cosine, and the tangent of the acute angle A are defined as follows:
7
S O H C A H T O A sin = opp/hyp cos = adj/hyp tan = opp/adj

Vocabulary Angle of Elevation – When you stand and look up at a point in the distance, the angle that your line of sight makes with a line drawn horizontally. Angle of Depression – When you stand at an elevated point and look down at a point in the distance, the angle that your line of sight makes with a line drawn horizontally.
15
Example 4 You are measuring the height of a tree. You stand 45 feet from the base of the tree. You measure the angle of elevation to the top of the tree to be 59 . Find the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot.
