OBJECTIVES

 Recall the different units of angle

 Practice unit conversion between angle measures
An angle is formed when two rays share a common initial point (called vertex). Associated with
an angle is its measure wherein some of the most common units are degree and radian. Other
less common units are gradian and mils.

Complementary, Supplementary and Explementary Angles
OBJECTIVES

 Distinguish the different angle pair relations

 Associate angle pair relations to find the measure of an angle
A pair of positive angles having the sum of their measures to be 90° is called
complementary angles. Accordingly, if two angles, e.g. A and B, are complementary, then we
can say that angle B is the complement of angle A (and vice versa);
Also, a pair of positive angles having the sum of their measures to be 180° is called
supplementary angles. Accordingly, if two angles, e.g. A and B, are supplementary, then we
can say that angle B is the supplement of angle A (and vice versa); and
A pair of positive angles having the sum of their measures to be 360° is called
explementary angles. Accordingly, if two angles, e.g. A and B, are explementary, then we can
say that angle B is the explement of angle A (and vice versa).

Right Triangle & Pythagorean Theorem
OBJECTIVES

 Distinguish a right triangle and identify its basic parts

 Define and apply Pythagorean Theorem of a triangle to find the length of its sides
A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle (90°). Since one angle is
90°, the other two angles must be complementary, so that the sum of all three angles is 180°.
The longest side of a right triangle, called the hypotenuse, is opposite the right angle. The
other two sides are called the legs of the right triangle.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in any right triangle, the square of the length of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs.

hypotenuse.

Solving Oblique Triangles: The Law of Sines
OBJECTIVES

 Recognize and define oblique triangles

 Associate sine law in solving angle or side measures of oblique triangles
An oblique triangle is any triangle that does not have a right angle. An oblique triangle is either
an acute triangle, having three acute (less than 90°) angles, or an obtuse triangle, having one
obtuse (between 90° and 180°) angle.
The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the sine of an angle in a triangle to its opposite side is
equal to the ratios of the sines of the other two angles to their opposite sides. For example, in a
triangle with sides a, b and c and opposite angles A, B and C respectively, the following is true:
in A in B in C
= =
a b c
INSTRUCTION: Fill in the equation with the proper symbol or given value to satisfy the Sine
Law then find the all the unknown values of each triangle. First item is provided as an example

Solving Oblique Triangles: The Law of Cosines
OBJECTIVES

 Associate cosine law in solving angle or side measures of oblique triangles

According to the law of cosines, the square of a side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the
squares of the other two sides, minus twice the product of those two sides and the cosine of the
angle included between them. For example, in a triangle with sides a, b and c and opposite
angles A, B and C respectively, the following is true:

a = b + c − bc co A b = a + c − ac co B c = a + b − ab co C
It is important to note that the Law of Cosines can be used to find side lengths or angles. As
long as three of the four variables in any of the equations are known, the fourth can be
calculated.
I. INSTRUCTION: Fill in the equation with the proper given value to satisfy the Cosine Law then
find the length of the remaining side, , of each triangle.

x = ____ + ____ − ___ ___ co ____ x = ____ + ____ − ___ ___ co ____
