Warm- up What do you remember about right triangles?
Trigonometry Basic Right Triangles
Three basic trigonometric functions • Sine • Cosine • Tangent
Trigonometric functions describe relationships between the angles of a right triangle and its sides.
Some quick notes you need to know: • We only use these trig functions on right triangles • We only use the acute angles in the right triangles • is a Greek letter called theta (thay-ta) it is used a lot in trig to stand for an angle. its just like a variable like x. • You must round all answers in this unit to the nearest tenth.
Some quick notes you need to know: • Always draw a diagram if its not provided. (yes this is required) • We measure our angles in degrees so your calculator must be in degree mode.(calc steps: press “mode” scroll down to “radian” and over to “degree” and press “enter” so that the word degree is high lighted, then “clear” to exit)
