2. Trigonometric Ratios  MM2G2. Students will define and apply sine, cosine, and tangent ratios to right triangles.  MM2G2a: Discover the relationship of the trigonometric ratios for similar triangles.

3. Trigonometric Ratios  MM2G2b: Explain the relationship between the trigonometric ratios of complementary angles.  MM2G2c: Solve application problems using the trigonometric ratios.

4. Warm Up Put 4 30-60-90 triangles with the following sides listed and have students determine the missing lengths. 30S527√3√2 90H10414√32√2 60L5√32√321√6

5. Or Warm Up Put 4 3-4-5 triangles on the board and ask: Are these triangles right triangles? How do you know? Are they similar? How do you know?

6. Trigonometric Ratios  Talk about adjacent and opposite sides: have the kids line up on the wall and pass something from one to another adjacent and opposite in the room.  Make a string triangle and talk about adjacent and opposite some more

7. Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent  NOTE: Greek letters are often used to designate the angle when using trigonometry. Greek letters that are popular are: α, β, θ, and φ  NOTE: If the angles are designated by a capital letter, the sides opposite that angle are often designated by the same letter in lower case.

8. Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent  Calculate the ratio of opposite/adjacent  In a right triangle, this ratio is called “Tangent”  Please do not confuse this tangent with the tangent of a curve. Same word, different meaning.

9. Ratio of Opposite / Adjacent  Align the triangles with the angle of interest at the origin of the Cartesian Coordinate System.  Opposite can be thought of as “rise”  Adjacent can be thought of as “run”  Look at the ratio of opposite divided by adjacent  Opposite divided by adjacent can be thought of as slope

16. hypotenuse leg In a right triangle, the shorter sides are called legs and the longest side (which is the one opposite the right angle) is called the hypotenuse a b c We’ll label them a, b, and c and the angles  and . Trigonometric functions are defined by taking the ratios of sides of a right triangle.   First let’s look at the three basic functions. SINE COSINE TANGENT They are abbreviated using their first 3 letters opposite adjacent

17. The Trigonometric Functions SINE COSINE TANGENT

18. SINE Prounounced “sign”

19. Prounounced “co-sign” COSINE

20. Prounounced “tan-gent” TANGENT

21. Pronounced “theta” Greek Letter  Represents an unknown angle

22. Pronounced “alpha” Greek Letter α Represents an unknown angle

23. Pronounced “Beta” Greek Letter β Represents an unknown angle

27. This is an example of a sentence using the word SohCahToa. I kicked a chair in the middle of the night and my first thought was I need to SohCahToa.

33. We could ask for the trig functions of the angle  by using the definitions. a b c You MUST get them memorized. Here is a mnemonic to help you.   The sacred Jedi word: SOHCAHTOA opposite adjacent SOHCAHTOA

34. It is important to note WHICH angle you are talking about when you find the value of the trig function. a b c  Let's try finding some trig functions with some numbers. Remember that sides of a right triangle follow the Pythagorean Theorem so Let's choose : 3 4 5 sin  = Use a mnemonic and figure out which sides of the triangle you need for sine. opposite hypotenuse tan  = opposite adjacent Use a mnemonic and figure out which sides of the triangle you need for tangent. 

35. You need to pay attention to which angle you want the trig function of so you know which side is opposite that angle and which side is adjacent to it. The hypotenuse will always be the longest side and will always be opposite the right angle.  This method only applies if you have a right triangle and is only for the acute angles (angles less than 90°) in the triangle. 3 4 5  Oh, I'm acute! So am I!
