TASK: (2 mins). Talk to the person ‘adjacent’ to you about the information below…. Use Pythagoras Theorem to calculate the missing side length, x. Will this method work??? Explain why or why not.
4
Objective of today’s class Today, we will relate the sine, cosine and tangent to the O,A and H sides of the triangle and create 3 rules. We will use these 3 rules to calculate the missing side length in a right-angled triangle.
5
Sine Rule (SOH)
6
Cosine Rule (CAH)
7
Tangent Rule (TOA)
8
An easy way to remember: SOH CAH TOA Simply tells you the 2 sides and the function
9
How do we write the rules? EXAMPLE For the triangle below, write the Sine rule (Label as O A H first) Answer
