For the following right triangle: A C B
Three trigonometric Ratios – can you find these buttons on your calculator???? Sine (“sin”) Cosine (“cos”) Tangent (“tan”)
SOH-CAH-TOA Acronym that may help you remember the ratios
Find the sin, cos, and tan of the given angle. sin J = cos J = tan J = sin G = cos G = tan G =
Find the value of each variable: 9 x y 70°
Angle of Elevation & Depression -Angle of Depression: Angle from a horizontal line DOWN -Angle of Elevation: Angle from a horizontal line UP
Example- Now we can solve! The angle of elevation from the base to the top of a waterslide is about 13°. The slide extends horizontally about 58.2 m. Estimate the height h of the slide.
