Introduction • Trigonometry is a huge branch of Mathematics. In Geometry, we touch on a small portion. Called the “Trigonometric Functions”. They are three formulas that can be used to find the side lengths of right triangles. They’re called: • Sine, Cosine, and Tangent
Sin , Cos , Tan properties • SIN = length of the side opposite an angle length of the hypotenuse • COS = length of the adjacent side to an angle length of the hypotenuse • TAN = length of the side opposite and angle length of the side adjacent to an angle represent an Angle measure
Abbreviation • Soh-Cah-Toa is a way to help you memorize the trig. Formulas. • SOH Sin = opp hyp • CAH Cos = adj hyp • TOA Tan = opp adj
Defining Adjacent and Opposite • Name the line segment: • Adjacent to Angle A= • Opposite to Angle A= • Adjacent to Angle C= • Opposite to Angle C= C A B
How to read the Trig Table Sin 34= Cos 86= Tan 57=
