1. The Trigonometric Functions we will be looking at Sine Cosine Tangent Cosecant Secant Cotangent

3. A A The sides of a right -angled triangle are given special names: The hypotenuse, the opposite and the adjacent. The hypotenuse is the longest side and is always opposite the right angle. The opposite and adjacent sides refer to another angle, other than the 90 o.

5. Prounounced “theta” Greek Letter  Represents an unknown angle

6. opposite hypotenuse adjacent hypotenuse opposite adjacent

8. Finding the ratios The simplest form of question is finding the decimal value of the ratio of a given angle. Find: 1)sin 32= sin 32 = 2)cos 23 = 3)tan 78= 4)tan 27= 5)sin 68=

9. Using ratios to find angles We have just found that a scientific calculator holds the ratio information for sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan) for all angles. It can also be used in reverse, finding an angle from a ratio. To do this we use the sin -1, cos -1 and tan -1 function keys.

10. Example: 1.sin x = 0.1115 find angle x. x = sin -1 (0.1115) x = 6.4 o 2. cos x = 0.8988 find angle x x = cos -1 (0.8988) x = 26 o sin -1 0.1115 = shiftsin () cos -1 0.8988 = shiftcos ()

11. We need a way to remember all of these ratios…

15. Finding an angle from a triangle To find a missing angle from a right-angled triangle we need to know two of the sides of the triangle. We can then choose the appropriate ratio, sin, cos or tan and use the calculator to identify the angle from the decimal value of the ratio. Find angle C a)Identify/label the names of the sides. b) Choose the ratio that contains BOTH of the letters. 14 cm 6 cm C 1.

16. C = cos -1 (0.4286) C = 64.6 o 14 cm 6 cm C 1. H A We have been given the adjacent and hypotenuse so we use COSINE: Cos A = Cos C = Cos C = 0.4286

17. Find angle x2. 8 cm 3 cm x A O Given adj and opp need to use tan: Tan A = x = tan -1 (2.6667) x = 69.4 o Tan A = Tan x = Tan x = 2.6667

18. 3. 12 cm 10 cm y Given opp and hyp need to use sin: Sin A = x = sin -1 (0.8333) x = 56.4 o sin A = sin x = sin x = 0.8333

21. Finding a side. (Figuring out which ratio to use and getting to use a trig button.)

22. Finding a side from a triangle To find a missing side from a right-angled triangle we need to know one angle and one other side. Cos45 = To leave x on its own we need to move the ÷ 13. It becomes a “times” when it moves. Note: If Cos45 x 13 = x

23. Cos 30 x 7 = k 6.1 cm = k 7 cm k 30 o 1. H A We have been given the adj and hyp so we use COSINE: Cos A = Cos 30 =

24. Tan 50 x 4 = r 4.8 cm = r 4 cm r 50 o 2. A O Tan A = Tan 50 = We have been given the opp and adj so we use TAN: Tan A =

25. Sin 25 x 12 = k 5.1 cm = k 12 cm k 25 o 3. H O sin A = sin 25 = We have been given the opp and hyp so we use SINE: Sin A =

26. Finding a side from a triangle There are occasions when the unknown letter is on the bottom of the fraction after substituting. Cos45 = Move the u term to the other side. It becomes a “times” when it moves. Cos45 x u = 13 To leave u on its own, move the cos 45 to other side, it becomes a divide. u =

27. x = x 5 cm 30 o 1. H A Cos A = Cos 30 = m 8 cm 25 o 2. H O m = sin A = sin 25 = x = 5.8 cm m = 18.9 cm

33. x = x 5 cm 30 o 1. H A Cos A = Cos 30 = x = 5.8 cm 4 cm r 50 o 2. A O Tan 50 x 4 = r 4.8 cm = r Tan A = Tan 50 = 3. 12 cm 10 cm y y = sin -1 (0.8333) y = 56.4 o sin A = sin y = sin y = 0.8333

37. When we are trying to find a side we use sin, cos, or tan. When we are trying to find an angle we use sin -1, cos -1, or tan -1.
