B Vocabulary A C • The sine and cosine ratios are trigonometric ratios for acute angles that involve the lengths of a leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle. • Let ∆ ABC be a right triangle with acute A. The sine of A and cosine of A (written as sin A and cos A) are defined as follows:

Example 1 Find sin X and sin Y. Write each answer as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to four places. SOH
Example 2 Find cos X and cos Y. Write each answer as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to four places. Aren't these the same answers we just had for sin? CAH
Example 4a Use a trigonometric ratio to find the value of x in the diagram. Round to the nearest tenth. Decide what you have in terms of opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse. Which of the three is missing? CAH Solve for x
Example 4b Use a trigonometric ratio to find the value of x in the diagram. Round to the nearest tenth. Decide what you have in terms of opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse. Which of the three is missing? SOH Solve for x
