8-4 Trigonometry, day 2 You used the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths in right triangles. Find trigonometric ratios using right triangles. Use trigonometric ratios to find angle measures in right triangles.
2
You can use a calculator to find the measure of an angle which is the inverse of the trigonometric ratio (sine, cosine, or tangent of an acute angle). p. 571

Use a calculator to find the measure of P to the nearest tenth. The measures given are those of the leg adjacent to P and the hypotenuse, so write the equation using the cosine ratio. KEYSTROKES: [COS] 13 1946.82644889 2nd( ÷)ENTER Answer: So, the measure of P is approximately 46.8°.

Solve the right triangle. Round side measures to the nearest hundredth and angle measures to the nearest degree. Step 1Find m A by using a tangent ratio. 29.7448813≈m AUse a calculator. So, the measure of A is about 30 . Definition of inverse tangent

Step 2Find m B using complementary angles. m B≈60Subtract 30 from each side. So, the measure of B is about 60 . 30 + m B≈90m A ≈ 30 m A + m B =90Definition of complementary angles

Step 3Find AB by using the Pythagorean Theorem. (AC) 2 + (BC) 2 =(AB) 2 Pythagorean Theorem 7 2 + 4 2 =(AB) 2 Substitution 65=(AB) 2 Simplify. Take the positive square root of each side. 8.06≈ ABUse a calculator. Answer: m A ≈ 30, m B ≈ 60, AB ≈ 8.06 So, the measure of AB is about 8.06.
