  1. Examples A • Find the sine, cosine and tangent of angles A, B. • Bonus find the sine of angle C. 13 Sin(A) = 5/13 Sin(B)= 12/13 Cos(A)= 12/13 Cos(B)= 5/13 Tan(A)= 5/12 Tan(B)= 12/5 Sin(C)= 1 12 B C 5

  2. Right Triangle Trigonometry Geometry Mr. Calise

  3. Solve the right triangle. Round decimals to the nearest tenth. opp. sin H = hyp. h 13 13 sin 25° = 13 Ex. 2: Solving a Right Triangle (h) 25° You are looking for opposite and hypotenuse which is the sin ratio. Set up the correct ratio Substitute values/multiply by reciprocal Substitute value from table or calculator 13(0.4226) ≈ h Use your calculator to approximate. 5.5 ≈ h

  4. Solve the right triangle. Round decimals to the nearest tenth. adj. cos G = hyp. g 13 13 cos 25° = 13 Ex. 2: Solving a Right Triangle (g) 25° You are looking for adjacent and hypotenuse which is the cosine ratio. Set up the correct ratio Substitute values/multiply by reciprocal Substitute value from table or calculator 13(0.9063) ≈ g 11.8 ≈ h Use your calculator to approximate.

  5. Space Shuttle: During its approach to Earth, the space shuttle’s glide angle changes. A. When the shuttle’s altitude is about 15.7 miles, its horizontal distance to the runway is about 59 miles. What is its glide angle? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Using Right Triangles in Real Life

  6. You know opposite and adjacent sides. If you take the opposite and divide it by the adjacent sides, then take the inverse tangent of the ratio, this will yield you the slide angle. Solution: Glide  = x° 15.7 miles 59 miles opp. tan x° = Use correct ratio adj. 15.7 Substitute values tan x° = 59 Key in calculator 2nd function, tan 15.7/59 ≈ 14.9  When the space shuttle’s altitude is about 15.7 miles, the glide angle is about 14.9°.

  7. When the space shuttle is 5 miles from the runway, its glide angle is about 19°. Find the shuttle’s altitude at this point in its descent. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. B. Solution Glide  = 19° h 5 miles opp. tan 19° = Use correct ratio adj. h Substitute values tan 19° = 5 h 5 Isolate h by multiplying by 5. 5 tan 19° = 5  The shuttle’s altitude is about 1.7 miles. 1.7 ≈ h Approximate using calculator

  8. Drill: Find the height of the tree. 40o 50 feet
