Right Triangles and Trigonometry Geometry Chapter 8
8-1 The Pythagorean Theorem and its converse • We are familiar with the Pythagorean Theorem:
8-2 Special Right Triangles • For each triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. Leave the answer in simplest radical form. 2 4 2 5 4 5
8-2 Special Right Triangles • solve for the missing sides – leave you answer in radical form.
8-2 Special Right Triangles • Homework: 420 (1-25) odd • 428 (1-15) odd
8-3 The Tangent Ratio • Warm Up
8-3 The Tangent Ratio • For each pair of complementary angles ∠A and ∠B, there is a family of similar right triangles. • In each family the ratio: • is constant no matter the size of ∆ABC
8-3 The Tangent Ratio • This trigonometric ratio is called the tangent ratio.
8-4 The Sine and Cosine Ratios • One way to remember which ratio corresponds to each trig function is to remember the word: SOH-CAH-TOA • SOH: sine opposite over hypotenuse • CAH: cosine adjacent over hypotenuse • TOA: tangent opposite over adjacent
8-5 Angles of Elevation and Angles of Depression • homework • page 441 (1-16) all • page 447 (1-14) all • Chapter 8 test next week Tuesday/Wednesday
