Warm- up What do you remember about right triangles?

Trigonometry Basic Right Triangles

Three basic trigonometric functions Sine Cosine Tangent

Trigonometric functions describe relationships between the angles of a right triangle and its sides.

Some quick notes you need to know: We only use these trig functions on right triangles We only use the acute angles in the right triangles is a Greek letter called theta (thay-ta) it is used a lot in trig to stand for an angle. its just like a variable like x. You must round all answers in this unit to the nearest tenth.

Some quick notes you need to know: Always draw a diagram if its not provided. (yes this is required) We measure our angles in degrees so your calculator must be in degree mode. (calc steps: press “mode” scroll down to “radian” and over to “degree” and press “enter” so that the word degree is high lighted, then “clear” to exit)
