Uses of Trigonometry • Lets you find the length and measure of angles of right triangles • Sine • Cosine • Tangent
Definitions • = angle • hyp = hypotenuse (longest side) • opp = side opposite (not touching) the angle • adj = side adjacent (touching) the angle
Formulas SOH CAH TOA
A c 5 25° B C a Example 1 • Find side c • c = 11.8 • Find side a • a = 10.7
A c 5 B C 8 Example 2 • Given 2 sides, find the angle • Find A • A = 58.0 • Find B • B = 32.0
Other Rt Triangle Tools • If given 2 side, find 3rd side • Use Pythagorean Theorem • a2 + b2 = c2 • C is the hypotenuse • If given 2 angles, find 3rd angle • Sum of angles = 180 • A + B + C = 180
Example 3 – Word Problem • A tree’s shadow is 3 m long and the sun is at 60° above horizontal. Find the height of the tree. • Height = 5.20 m
