find the six trigonometric ratios for the given triangles

triangles can be used as a reference triangle for some
non – acute triangles. Let’s discuss the two special
right triangles.

Example 1: Find the six trigonometric ratios of
Solution:
𝑎= 3 Since the given angle is a 30 – degree angle & we are certain that the
300 triangle is a right triangle, we can apply the properties of a 300 − 600 − 900
Triangle.
𝑏=1
𝑐=2 The length of the side opposite the 𝟑𝟎𝟎 – angle is b = 1.
600
The length of the side opposite the 𝟔𝟎𝟎 angle is 3 times the length of
the shortest side. Thus, 𝟑 x 1 = 𝟑 = a
The length of the side opposite the 𝟗𝟎𝟎 angle is twice the length of the
shortest side. Hence, 𝟐 𝒙 𝟏 = 𝟐 = 𝒄

Let us find the sides of this triangle. Since we know that
the legs of the 450 − 450 − 900 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 are equal in
𝑎= 1 length, hence the other leg measures 1 unit.

hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the leg of the
triangle, hence,
Since the triangle is a 450 − 450 −
900 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒, we can apply the properties of
