Trigonometry Students will be able to use right triangle trig to solve everyday problems. Students will use sine, cosine, tangent and inverse trig functions to solve for missing side and angle measurements.

Triangle Review What do you remember Types Names Properties What lengths make a triangle How do we determine type How are sides and angles related

Did you remember 3 Sides Angles add to 180 Right, Acute, Obtuse, Scalene, Isosceles, Equilateral Sum of shorter 2 sides must be greater than longest Longest side across from largest angle, smallest and smallest

Examples Can these lengths make a triangle, is yes what kind? 6,10,8 5,7,10 9,16,8 What type of triangle is the following?

More Example Put the angle in order from largest to smallest Put the sides in order from longest to shortest

Homework Worksheet on these properties

Trigonometry Can only be used with right triangles W will use it to find measures of missing sides and angles All angles in right triangles are ratios of two of the sides All similar triangles corresponding angles will have the same trig ratio

Describing the Sides in relation to a right triangle Opposite side in relationship to angle using Across from the angle, does not touch the angle we are using Adjacent side in relationship to angle using Touches the angle, not hypotenuse, connects angle to right angle Hypotenuse Always the longest side, across from the right angle

Trig Ratios and Right Triangles The sides of the triangle have names, but it depends on the angle you are looking from. From angle A – Blue From angle B – Red

Trig Ratios The trigonometric value of an angle is related to a specific ratio of two of the sides of the triangle SOH CAH TOA

Setting Up Trig Ratio You should be able to set up all 3 trig ratios from all the angles in a triangle Make sure you have correct angle and correct sides

Homework Wkst on setting up trig ratios

Finding Missing Sides To find the missing side of a triangle you need to set up a specific trig ratio based on angle given and side you want to find These will look similar to proportions

Set up Determine Trig ratio you are using What angle is given What side is given What side do you need to find Which trig ration does this match up with Set up trig ratio – using what you determined about, there should be only 1 unknown, this is the work I need to see Solve trig ratio – you need a calculator with the trig functions to do this What are some things you noticed when solving

Calculator Make sure your calculator is set up in correctly Mode Degree Sides lengths should always be rounded to the nearest hundredth unless specified otherwise

Examples

Your work fro trig ratios is the set up of the trig ratio, everything else is done in your calculator Do you notice when you multiple or divide

Homework Worksheet on 3 trig rations Make sure you show set up and label your answers

Solving for Angles We can also use trig ratios to calculate angles measure in a triangle Similar idea to how we did sides for triangles What angle are we solving for What sides do we have in relationship to the angle What trig ratio uses those sides Substitute and solve, round to nearest degree

Using calculator

Examples

Homework Worksheet Trig ratios finding angle measures Remember to round to the nearest degree for your lable

Problem Solving Angle of Depression – angle line forms with horizon, coming down Angle of Elevation – angle formed with horizon going up

Example Continued When an 18 ft ladder is leaning against a wall and it makes a 68 degree angle with the ground. How high up the wall does the ladder reach?
