Section 9.5: Trigonometric Ratios
2
trigonometric ratio – a ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle. The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent.
3
B hypotenuse c side opp. a A A C b side adjacent to A
4
Trigonometric Ratios sin A = side opposite A = a hypotenuse c cos A = side adjacent A = b hypotenuse c tan A = side opposite A = a side adjacent A b
5
Example 1: Use a calculator to approximate the given value to four decimal places. a)cos 13° ≈ 0.9744 b)sin 27° ≈ 0.4540 c)tan 66° ≈ 2.2460
6
Example 2: Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of angle D. E 14 50 F 48 D
7
Example 3: Find the value of each variable. Round decimals to the nearest tenth. t 34 23° s

9
angle of elevation – the angle that your line of sight makes with a line drawn horizontally.
10
Example 4: You are measuring the height of a building. You stand 100 feet from the base of the building. You measure the angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of the building to be 48°. Estimate the height of the building. About 111 ft
11
Example 5: A driveway rises 12 feet over a distance d at an angle of 3.5°. Estimate the length of the driveway. About 197 ft
