Hi! We are now down to the last quarter of the pandemic school year 2020-2021. Let us start
the first week of the fourth quarter right! This quarter will all be about Trigonometry.
Trigonometry is the branch of Mathematics, which could help us answer a lot of questions
such as: 1) How does towers and buildings were constructed? 2) How do we determine the
distance travelled as well as the height of an airplane as it takes off? and; 3) How do we
determine the height of a mountain?
This branch of mathematics can make it possible for us to do all these things even if we are
not in the real place or situation because these are just some of the many real-world
applications of triangle trigonometry.
As we go on with our discussion, you will learn more about all of these things and you will
figure out, yourselves, the answers to the questions that we have posted a while back.
And for you to be able to do that, of course we need to start with the basics. We will be
discussing first in this module the introduction to Triangle Trigonometry.
A basic application of Trigonometry makes use of triangles. Since Trigonometry came from
two Greek words – trigonon which means “triangle”, and metria which means “measure,” it
means triangle measurement and it is defined as the study of triangles and the relationships
between their sides and angles.
Among the types of triangles that we have, let us focus on a right triangle.
Specifically, in your previous lessons, you were able to recall the sides of a right triangle
which are the legs and the hypotenuse. Let us now consider another way of naming the
sides of a right triangle with respect to a given reference angle. But before that, we define
first a reference angle.
A reference angle is an angle whose measure is less than 90°. In a right triangle, there
can be two reference angles. Symbols such as letters in the Greek alphabet like theta (𝜃)
or alpha (𝛼) and even a marking can be used to mark the angle that we are referring to.
In naming the sides of a right triangle with respect to a given reference angle, we will be using
the following terms:
adjacent side (adj);
opposite side (opp); and
hypotenuse (hyp).
Next. The opposite side is the other leg of the right triangle
that is non-consecutive or non-adjacent to the reference
angle. Therefore, in triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶, the opposite side with
respect to the reference angle 𝐴 is ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐶 or ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝐵 or side 𝑎.
Once done, you may check your answers by going to the answers’ key.
Now, it is your turn! I want you to try this activity on your own. Let’s see how much you have
learned so far from our discussion. Do not be afraid to try! As a quotation goes, you only fail
if you stop trying.
In this activity you will see flags of three countries. Among these countries are: 1) United
Kingdom; 2) Bhutan; and 3) Tanzania.
Once done, you may check your answers by going to the answers’ key.
Give yourself (1) point for every correct answer. Hopefully you got them all correctly.
Now that your knowledge on the right triangle and naming sides of a right triangle with respect
to a reference angle were already refreshed, I think you are now ready with the next part of
our discussion.
Let us now have the six trigonometric ratios of acute angles of a right triangle.
Below, you will see the given trigonometric ratios in symbols and how they are read.
We have the sine theta, cosine theta, tangent
theta, cosecant theta, secant theta and
cotangent theta.
For the Secondary Trigonometric Ratios, cosecant theta is defined as the ratio of the
hypotenuse and the opposite side, secant theta is the ratio of the hypotenuse and the adjacent
side while cotangent theta is the ratio of the adjacent side and the opposite side.
Now, allow me to ask you this question: What have you observed about the definitions of the
Primary Trigonometric Ratios and the Secondary Trigonometric Ratios?
You are right!
The Secondary Trigonometric Ratios are the reciprocals of the Primary. That is, the inverted
fractions.
Note that cosecant theta is the reciprocal of sine theta, secant theta is the reciprocal of cosine
theta and cotangent theta is the reciprocal of tangent theta.
But don’t you worry; you do not need to memorize all these definitions.
We actually have a way on how you can remember the definitions of the Primary
Trigonometric Ratios. That is by using the mnemonic device SOH-CAH-TOA.
But what is SOH-CAH-TOA?
SOH is used to remember the definition
of sine theta; S stands for sine, O means
opposite and H means hypotenuse.
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
That is sine theta = .
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
CAH is used to remember the definition of cosine theta; C stands for cosine, A means
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
adjacent and H means hypotenuse. That is cosine theta = .
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
TOA is used to remember the definition of tangent theta; T stands for tangent, O means
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
opposite and A means adjacent. That is tangent theta = .
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
I hope I made everything clear to you. On the next part of our discussion, we will apply all of
these in writing the six trigonometric ratios of a given acute angle of a right triangle.
DAY 2
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 1
Let us now write the six trigonometric ratios of a given acute angle of a right triangle.
And since our reference angle is 𝐴, we will be writing the six trigonometric ratios of angle 𝐴.
And these are: sine 𝐴, cosine 𝐴, tangent 𝐴, cosecant 𝐴, secant 𝐴 and cotangent 𝐴.
Before we can write these six trigonometric ratios, it is important that we identify first the
adjacent side, opposite side and the hypotenuse of the right triangle with respect to the
reference angle 𝐴.
Since we already have the adjacent side, opposite side Adjacent side (adj)
and the hypotenuse, we can now write the six trigonometric
ratios of angle 𝐴.
Let us have sine. Sine is defined as the ratio of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Since
𝑎
our opposite side is 𝑎 and the hypotenuse is 𝑐, therefore, 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝐴 = .
𝑐
Let us have cosine. Cosine is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.
𝑏
Since our adjacent side is 𝑏 and the hypotenuse is 𝑐, therefore, 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝐴 = .
𝑐
Let us have tangent. Tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side and the adjacent
𝑎
side. Since our opposite side is 𝑎 and the adjacent side is 𝑏, therefore, 𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐴 = .
𝑏
Let us have cosecant. Cosecant is defined as the ratio of the hypotenuse and the opposite
𝑐
side. Since our hypotenuse is 𝑐 and the opposite side is 𝑎, therefore 𝑐𝑠𝑐 𝐴 = .
𝑎
Let us have secant. Secant is defined as the ratio of the hypotenuse and the adjacent side.
𝑐
Since our hypotenuse is 𝑐 and the adjacent side is 𝑏, therefore 𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝐴 = .
𝑏
Lastly, let us have the cotangent. Cotangent is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side and the
𝑏
opposite side. Since our adjacent side is 𝑏 and the opposite side is 𝑎, therefore 𝑐𝑜𝑡 𝐴 = .
𝑎
To make it easier, for the secondary trigonometric ratios, you can just get the reciprocals of
the primary.
If you will notice, this time, theta is at angle 𝐵. So it means that the
reference angle is 𝐵.
In your notebook, I want you to write the six trigonometric ratios of angle 𝐵.
These are: sine 𝐵, cosine 𝐵, tangent 𝐵, cosecant 𝐵, secant 𝐵 and cotangent 𝐵.
Once done, you may check your answers by going to the key to correction.
Give yourself (1) point for every correct answer. Hopefully you got them all correctly.
On the next example, the lengths of the sides of the right triangle are already known.
Using the values, let us identify the six trigonometric ratios. But take note, in order to write the
six trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of a right triangle, the lengths of the three sides must
be known.
For triangles where there are only two sides given, apply first the Pythagorean Theorem in
order to find the measure of the third side. And when values are given, you need to simplify
your answers in lowest terms if necessary.
Let us consider this example.
In the figure, you are given right triangle 𝑃𝐻𝑆 which is
right-angled at 𝑆. Since theta (𝜃) is at angle 𝐻, it means that
the reference angle is 𝐻. And since our reference angle
is 𝐻, we will be writing the six trigonometric ratios of angle 𝐻.
And these are: sine 𝐻, cosine 𝐻, tangent 𝐻, cosecant 𝐻, secant 𝐻
and cotangent 𝐻.
Let us first identify the adjacent side, opposite side and the hypotenuse of the right triangle
with respect to the reference angle 𝐻.
In the given figure, the adjacent side is 4. Do you agree? This is because the adjacent side
with respect to angle 𝐻 is side 𝑝 and this side measures 4 units.
What about the opposite side? The opposite side is 3. This is because the opposite side with
respect to angle 𝐻 is side ℎ and this side measures 3 units.
Lastly, the hypotenuse is 5. Right? This is because the hypotenuse is side 𝑠 and this side
measures 5 units.
Since we now have the adjacent side, opposite side and the hypotenuse, we can already write
the six trigonometric ratios of angle 𝐻.
Let us have sine. From the mnemonic, SOH-CAH-TOA, we take SOH. That is sine 𝐻 =
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 3
. Since our opposite side is 3 and the hypotenuse is 5, therefore, sin 𝐻 = .
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 5
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
Let us have cosine. From the SOH-CAH-TOA, we take CAH. That is cosine 𝐻 = .
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒.
4
Since our adjacent side is 4 and the hypotenuse is 5, therefore, cos 𝐻 = .
5
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
Let us have tangent. From the SOH-CAH-TOA, we take TOA. That is tangent 𝐻 = .
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒
3
Since our opposite side is 3 and the adjacent side is 4, therefore, tan 𝐻 = .
4
We proceed now with the Secondary Trigonometric Ratios. Instead of following their definitions.
Let us use their reciprocals.
3 5
For cosecant, the reciprocal is sine. If sin 𝐻 = , then csc 𝐻 = .
5 3
4 5
Let us have secant. The reciprocal of secant is cosine. If cos 𝐻 = , then sec 𝐻 = .
5 4
3
Lastly, let us have the cotangent. The reciprocal of cotangent is tangent. If tan 𝐻 = , then cot 𝐻 =
4
4
.

For our last example, we will be having a right triangle where the length of one side is unknown.
I have said a while ago that for triangles where there are only two sides given, we need to apply
first the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the measure of the third side so we can identify the
six trigonometric ratios of the given acute angle of the right triangle.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse
is equal to the sum of the squares of its legs. In symbols, that is 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 .
But before we can write these six trigonometric ratios, we need to solve first for the length of the
missing side or the unknown side of the right triangle by applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
Solution:
Since 𝑐 represents the length of the hypotenuse, then, the hypotenuse is 10.
Now that we already have the lengths of the three sides of the right triangle, we can now identify
the adjacent side, the opposite side and the hypotenuse of the given right triangle with respect to
the reference angle 𝐵.
The adjacent side with respect to angle 𝐵 is 6. This is because the adjacent side to angle 𝐵 is
side 𝑎 and this side measures 6 units.
The opposite side with respect to angle 𝐵 is 8. This is because the opposite side to angle 𝐵 is
side 𝑏 and this side measures 8 units.
Finally, the hypotenuse is 10. Since side 𝑐 is the hypotenuse and this side measures 10 units.
Now, I want you to identify the six trigonometric ratios of angle 𝐵.
You may write your answers in your notebook.
Once done, you may check your answers by going to the answers’ key.
Give yourself (1) point for every correct answer. Hopefully you got them all correctly.

Maybe you are thinking where else can we apply all these concepts. But did you know
Trigonometry and its functions have an enormous number of uses in our daily lives? For
instance, it is used in geography to measure the distance between landmarks, in astronomy
to measure the distance of nearby stars and also in the satellite navigation system. Apart from
astronomy and geography, Trigonometry has spread its applications into wider fields like
engineering, physics, surveying, architecture and even in the investigation of a crime scene.
It is also applicable in various fields like developing computer music, chemistry number theory,
medical imaging, electronics, oceanography, seismology, phonetics, image compression and
game development.
The definitions of the Primary Trigonometric Ratios can be easily remembered by using
the mnemonic device SOH-CAHTOA.
