LESSON OBJECTIVE: Use sine, cosine and tangent in calculating lengths and angles

NOTES: Trigonometric ratios in right triangles

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. Three common
trigonometric ratios are the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These are defined for
acute angle A below:

In these definitions, the terms opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse refer to the lengths of the
sides. SOH-CAH-TOA: an easy way to remember trig ratios

The word sohcahtoa helps us remember the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent. Here's
how it works:
Example

Suppose we wanted to find Sin(A) in △ABC given below:

ACTIVITY

1. Exercise 2. Question 2e on page 180 from y = mx + c.

2. Do the following exercise

Exercise

1.  From the given △DEF below, find:

 (a) Cos F
(b) Sin F
(c) Tan F
The next topic will be on Three Figure Bearing
