Trigonometry can be used for two things: 1.Using 1 side and 1 angle to work out another side, or 2.Using 2 sides to work out an angle.
3
To work out things using trigonometry we use three new buttons on the calculator labelled. SinCosTan Each of these buttons has a rule you can remember by using the word: SOH-CAH-TOA
5
In this word each letter stands for a word. Buttons on your calculatorSides of a Triangle S = Sin A = Adjacent C = Cos O = Opposite T = Tan H = Hypotenuse
6
The Hypotenuse is the longest side. It is the one not touching the right angle. Hypotenuse
7
The Opposite is the side far away from the angle you are given. 60 o Opposite 30 o
8
57 o Opposite 33 o
9
The Adjacent is the side next to the angle you are given and the right angle. 60 o Adjacent 30 o
10
49 o Adjacent 41 o
11
Sin has the rule SOH. S O H O ÷ H O ÷ Sinθ Sinθ × H
12
Cos has the rule CAH. C A H A ÷ H A ÷ Cosθ Cosθ × H
13
Tan has the rule TOA. T O A O ÷ A O ÷ Tanθ Tanθ × A
14
1. Label the sides of the triangle. 2. Figure out which type of side you are looking for and which sides you have. 3. Write down the formula from SOH-CAH-TOA. 4. Put in the numbers. 5. Calculate. 6. If you are trying to find an angle you need to press: Shift Sin = Shift Cos = Shift Tan = or
15
We are looking for the Opposite. We have the Hypotenuse. We need to use SOH because it has O and H. O = Sin θ × H y = Sin 30 × 24 y = 12 Opposite 30 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 24 y
16
We are looking for the Opposite. We have the Hypotenuse. We need to use SOH because it has O and H. O = Sin θ × H y = Sin 48 × 15 y = 11.1 Opposite 48 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 15 y
17
We are looking for the Hypotenuse. We have the Opposite. We need to use SOH because it has O and H. H = O ÷ Sin θ y = 6.0 ÷ Sin 40 y = 9.3 Opposite 40 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 6.0 y
18
We are looking for the Adjacent. We have the Hypotenuse. We need to use CAH because it has A and H. A = Cos θ × H y = Cos 28 × 20 y = 17.7 Opposite 28 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 20 y
19
We are looking for the Adjacent. We have the Hypotenuse. We need to use CAH because it has A and H. A = Cos θ × H y = Cos 50 × 100 y = 64.3 Opposite 50 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 100 y
20
We are looking for the Hypotenuse. We have the Adjacent. We need to use CAH because it has A and H. H = A ÷ Cos θ y = 32.5 ÷ Cos 40 y = 42.4 Opposite 40 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 32.5 y
21
We are looking for the Opposite. We have the Adjacent. We need to use TOA because it has O and A. O = Tan θ × A y = Tan 32 × 1.4 y = 0.9 Opposite 32 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 1.4 y
22
We are looking for the Adjacent. We have the Opposite. We need to use TOA because it has O and A. A = Tan θ × A y = Tan 40 × 23 y = 19.3 Opposite 40 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 23 y
23
We are looking for the Adjacent. We have the Opposite. We need to use TOA because it has O and A. A = O ÷ Tan θ y = 3.2 ÷ Tan 40 y = 3.8 Opposite 40 o Adjacent Hypotenuse 3.2 y
24
We are looking for an angle. We have the Adjacent and the Opposite. We need to use TOA because it has O and A. Tan θ = O ÷ A Tan θ = 4 ÷ 2.2 Tan θ = 1.82 Opposite θ Adjacent Hypotenuse 2.2 4 ShiftTan = θ = 61 o
25
We are looking for an angle. We have the Adjacent and the Hypotenuse. We need to use CAH because it has A and H. Cos θ = A ÷ H Cos θ = 4 ÷ 7 Cos θ = 0.57 Opposite θ Adjacent Hypotenuse 7 4 Shift Cos = θ = 55 o
26
We are looking for an angle. We have the Hypotenuse and the Opposite. We need to use SOH because it has O and H. Sin θ = O ÷ H Sin θ = 8 ÷ 10 Sin θ = 0.8 Opposite θ Adjacent Hypotenuse 10 8 Shift Sin = θ = 53 o
