Complementary Angles • Two angles are complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90o
Trigonometry • Is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles and the calculations based on these relationships. • A trigonometric ratio: • Is a ratio of the lengths of two sides in a right triangle.
B C A Sine and Cosine Ratios • Let ΔABC be a right triangle with acuteA. The sine of A and cosine of A (written as sinA and cosA) are defined as follows:
Tangent Ratio • Let ΔABC be a right triangle with acuteA. The tangent of A (written as tanA) is defined as follows: B C A
Example 1: • Find the sine, cosine, and tangent ratio for x and y.
Example 2: • Find the height h of the lamppost to the nearest inch.
