4-1 Right Triangle Trigonometry Chapter 4 Trigonometric Functions
Recall how to find the missing values in each figure (angles and sides) 15 x y 60° 45° 6 b 7 a 13 6.5√3
1. Finding the Values of Trigonometric Ratios (for acute angles) The ratios of the sides of right triangles can be used to define trigonometric ratios
Example 1: Find the sine, cosine, and tangent for ∠T U 15 V 17 T
The ratios of the sides of right triangles can be used to define trigonometric ratios
Example 2: Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of θ. C 65 33 θ A 56 B
Example 3 • If sin θ = , find the exact values of the five remaining trigonometric functions
We can use these principles to find missing sides of triangles We could find the missing side length of this triangle. 18 42° x
Try these. • Example 4: Find x. 53° x 15 • Example 5: Find x 9 x 21°
Sports Example A competitor in a hiking competition must climb up the inclined course as shown to reach the finish line. Determine the distance in feet that the competitor must hike to reach the finish line. (Photo not to scale) Finish x 48° 1 mile
