Geometric and Arithmetic Means Arithmetic Mean (AM) or average of 2 numbers: (a + b) / 2 Geometric Mean (GM) of 2 numbers: √ab Altitude Length = GM of divided hypotenuse = √ab a b altitude

Special Right Triangles Pythagorean Theorem: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Side opposite 30° angle is ½ the hypotenuse Side opposite 45° angle is ½ the hypotenuse times √2 Side opposite 60° angle is ½ the hypotenuse times √3 a b c 45° 30° 60° Pythagorean Triples: Whole numbers that solve the theorem (example: 3,4,5) ½y½y y ½ y√3 x ½ x√2

Trigonometric Functions Sin (angle) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos (angle) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan (angle) = Opposite / Adjacent SOH – CAH – TOA (or others) to help remember the definitions To find an angle use the inverse of the Trig Function –Trig Fnc -1 (some side / some other side) = angle Remember the shortcut for the bottom of a fraction opposite hypotenuse adjacent angle =  = x just switch x and the = # x 0.781

Trig Problems Steps to Solution Step 1: Label sides (A, H, O) based on angle Step 2: Identify trig function to use Step 3: Set up equation Step 4: Solve for variable (1 of these methods) –if variable is in top of fraction, multiply both sides by the bottom to get “x = …” –if variable is in bottom of fraction, x trades places with what’s on the other side of the = sign to get “x = …” –if variable is the angle, use inverse trig function notation to get “x = …” x sin 23° = x = 45  sin 23° cos 41° = x = x cos 41° tan x° = x = tan

Angles of Elevation or Depression To Solve: –Step 1: Draw the triangle below –Step 2: Label sides (A, H, O) from problem information –Step 3: Identify trig function to use –Step 4: Set up equation –Step 5: Solve for variable (use 1 of the 3 methods) Θ angle always goes here horizontal distance or length of shadow vertical distance or height slant distance; ski slope or road
