  1. Right Triangle Trig Section 4.3

  2. Right Triangle Trig • In the previous section, we worked with: • Angles in both radians & degrees • Coterminal angles • Complementary and supplementary angles • Linear and angular speed • Now our focus is going to shift to triangles

  3. Right Triangle Trig • In this section, we are going to be using only right triangles Opp. Hyp. Ѳ Adj.

  4. Right Triangle Trig • In this section, we are going to be using only right triangles Ѳ Adj. Hyp. Opp.

  5. Right Triangle Trig • Using these three sides of the right triangle, we can form six ratios that define the six trigonometric functions.

  6. Right Triangle Trig • Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse • Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse • Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent S o h C a h T o a

  7. Right Triangle Trig • Find the value of the six trig functions of the following triangle. 3 Ѳ 4

  8. Right Triangle Trig • Find the value of the six trig functions of the following triangle. Ѳ 17 15

  9. Right Triangle Trig • Find the value of the six trig functions of the following triangle. 5 Ѳ 8

  10. Right Triangle Trig • You can also use a trig value to construct a right triangle and find the values of the remaining trig functions. • E.g. Sin

  11. Right Triangle Trig • Sketch a right triangle and find the values of the remaining trig functions using the given information. • Cos • Tan • Csc

  12. Right Triangle Trig • Cos

  13. Right Triangle Trig • Tan

  14. Right Triangle Trig • Csc

  15. Right Triangle Trig Section 4.3

  16. Right Triangle Trig • Yesterday: • Defined all six trig functions • Found values of all six trig functions from right triangles • Constructed right triangles from a specific trig value and found the remaining values • Today • Special right triangles • Using a calculator

  17. Right Triangle Trig • Sketch a right triangle and find the values of the remaining trig functions using the given information. Cot

  18. Right Triangle Trig • Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of 45˚

  19. Right Triangle Trig • Using the equilateral triangle below, find the sine, cosine, and tangent of both 30˚ and 60˚. 2

  20. Right Triangle Trig • These triangles are our two special triangles. • We will use them throughout the year. • The sooner you remember them, the easier your life will be.

  21. Right Triangle Trig • From your triangles: 2 = = = = = =

  22. Right Triangle Trig • From your triangles: = = 2 = = = =

  23. Right Triangle Trig • From your triangles: = = = = 1 = =

  24. Right Triangle Trig • The trig values of the angles 30˚, 45˚, and 60˚ are values that we will be using from now until May. • You will be expected to know these values from memory. • There will be quizzes that are non-calculator where these values will be needed.

  25. Right Triangle Trig • Using a calculator • On your calculators, you should see the three main trig functions. • Using these buttons, find the Sine 10˚

  26. Right Triangle Trig • Your calculator can also evaluate trig functions in radians. • To do this, you must switch the mode from degrees to radians. • Find the Cos

  27. Right Triangle Trig • Using your calculator, evaluate the following: • Tan 67˚ • Sin 3.4 • Sec 35˚ • Cot

  28. Right Triangle Trig • In addition to radians and degrees, there is one more type of unit we will be using throughout the year. • Minutes and Seconds • Most commonly used in longitude and latitude • An angle in minutes and seconds would look like: • 56˚ 8́ 10˝

  29. Right Triangle Trig • To convert minutes and seconds to degrees: 56˚ 8́ 10˝ Find the sum of the whole angle, the minutes divided by 60, and the seconds divided by 3,600 This will give you your angle in degrees

  30. Right Triangle Trig • Evaluate the following trig functions: • Sin 73˚ 56́ • Tan 44˚ 28́ 16˝ • Sec 4˚ 50́ 15˝

  31. Right Triangle Trig Section 4.3

  32. Right Triangle Trig • Find the remaining five trig functions if Tan Ѳ = • Find the exact value of the Cos 60˚ and Csc • Evaluate the Sec 37˚ to three decimal places

  33. Right Triangle Trig • So far: • Defined the six trig functions • Created triangles from given trig values to find the remaining trig values • Used the special right triangles • 30-60-90 45-45-90 • Used a calculator to evaluate trig functions of other angles • Converted between degrees and minutes/seconds • Today • Find angles when given trig values • Fundamental Identities

  34. Right Triangle Trig • So far, we have been using our trig functions to create ratios. • We can also use trig functions to solve for entire triangles when given certain information. • Must be given 1 side and one other part of the triangle.

  35. Right Triangle Trig Solve for the remaining parts of the triangle. 8 35˚

  36. Right Triangle Trig Solve for the remaining parts of the triangle. 20˚ 12

  37. Right Triangle Trig Solve for the remaining parts of the triangle. 5˚ 18

  38. Right Triangle Trig • So far, the information we have been given has been 1 side and 1 angle. • When we are given 2 sides, you must use your calculator to evaluate the angle. • This involves the inverse trig buttons on your calc.

  39. Right Triangle Trig Solve for the remaining parts of the triangle. 10 7

  40. Right Triangle Trig Solve for the remaining parts of the triangle. 13 9

  41. Right Triangle Trig • Use the given information to solve for the remaining parts of each triangle. 22˚ 7 11 4

  42. Right Triangle Trig 7 4

  43. Right Triangle Trig 22˚ 11

  44. Right Triangle Trig • Fundamental Trig Identities • These are identities that we will use throughout the year • It will be very beneficial to memorize them now as opposed to struggling to remember them later • We will go over 11 now, there will be over 30 throughout the course of the year • These are on page 283 of your book

  45. Right Triangle Trig • Reciprocal Identities = = = = = =

  46. Right Triangle Trig • Quotient Identities = =

  47. Right Triangle Trig • Pythagorean Identities

  48. Right Triangle Trig • We use the fundamental identities for 2 main purposes: • To evaluate trig functions when given certain information • Transformations (proofs)

  49. Right Triangle Trig • Let Ѳ be an acute angle such that Sin Ѳ = 0.6. Use the fundamental identities to find the Cos Ѳ and Tan Ѳ.

  50. Right Triangle Trig • If Tan Ѳ = 5, find the remaining five trig functions of Ѳ.
