6. History of Trig Ratios
A young brave, frustrated by his inability to understand the geometric constructions of his tribe's battle dress, kicked out in anger against a stone and crushed his big toe. Fortunately, he learned from this experience, and went on to become the greatest man in the tribe. However, because he was troubled throughout his life by the problematic toe he acquired in his youthful fit, he was constantly at the edge of the river, soaking his big toe in the cooling waters. For that behavior, he was named … Chief Soh Cah Toa.

7. Now the Chief is famous for his discoveries.

19. For some applications of trig, we need to know these meanings: angle of elevation and angle of depression.

20. Angle of Elevation Angle of Elevation
If an observer looks UPWARD toward an object, the angle the line of sight makes with the horizontal.
Angle of elevation

21. Angle of Depression
If an observer looks DOWNWARD toward an object, the angle the line of sight makes with the horizontal.
Angle of depression
