Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-15 Reference Angles A reference angle for an angle is the positive acute angle made by the terminal side of angle and the x-axis.
16
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-16 Example: Find the reference angle for each angle. a) 218 Positive acute angle made by the terminal side of the angle and the x- axis is 218 180 = 38 . 1387 Divide 1387 by 360 to get a quotient of about 3.9. Begin by subtracting 360 three times. 1387 – 3(360 ) = 307 . The reference angle for 307 is 360 – 307 = 53

Slide 2-19 Finding Trigonometric Function Values for Any Nonquadrantal Angle Step 1If > 360 , or if < 0 , then find a coterminal angle by adding or subtracting 360 as many times as needed to get an angle greater than 0 but less than 360 . Step 2Find the reference angle '. Step 3Find the trigonometric function values for reference angle '. Step 4Determine the correct signs for the values found in Step 3. (Use the table of signs in section 5.2, if necessary.) This gives the values of the trigonometric functions for angle .

27
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-27 Function Values Using a Calculator Calculators are capable of finding trigonometric function values. When evaluating trigonometric functions of angles given in degrees, remember that the calculator must be set in degree mode. Remember that most calculator values of trigonometric functions are approximations.

43
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-43 Bearing Other applications of right triangles involve bearing, an important idea in navigation.
44
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-44 Example An airplane leave the airport flying at a bearing of N 32 E for 200 miles and lands. How far east of its starting point is the plane? The airplane is approximately 106 miles east of its starting point. e 200 32º

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-45 Example: Using Trigonometry to Measure a Distance A method that surveyors use to determine a small distance d between two points P and Q is called the subtense bar method. The subtense bar with length b is centered at Q and situated perpendicular to the line of sight between P and Q. Angle is measured, then the distance d can be determined. a) Find d when = and b = 2.0000 cm b) Angle usually cannot be measured more accurately than to the nearest 1 second. How much change would there be in the value of d if were measured 1 second larger?
46
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-46 Example: Using Trigonometry to Measure a Distance continued Let b = 2, change to decimal degrees. b) Since is 1 second larger, use 1.386944. The difference is.0170 cm.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-47 Example: Solving a Problem Involving Angles of Elevation Sean wants to know the height of a Ferris wheel. From a given point on the ground, he finds the angle of elevation to the top of the Ferris wheel is 42.3. He then moves back 75 ft. From the second point, the angle of elevation to the top of the Ferris wheel is 25.4. Find the height of the Ferris wheel.
48
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-48 Example: Solving a Problem Involving Angles of Elevation continued The figure shows two unknowns: x and h. Since nothing is given about the length of the hypotenuse, of either triangle, use a ratio that does not involve the hypotenuse, (the tangent ratio). In triangle ABC, In triangle BCD, x C B h DA 75 ft
49
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-49 Example: Solving a Problem Involving Angles of Elevation continued Since each expression equals h, the expressions must be equal to each other. Solve for x. Distributive Property Factor out x. Get x-terms on one side. Divide by the coefficient of x.
50
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 2-50 We saw above that Substituting for x. tan 42.3 =.9099299 and tan 25.4 =.4748349. So, tan 42.3 - tan 25.4 =.9099299 -.4748349 =.435095 and The height of the Ferris wheel is approximately 74.48 ft. Example: Solving a Problem Involving Angles of Elevation continued
