  2. What is Trigonometry & why study Trigonometry? Trigonometry is the study of triangles, and has applications in fields such as engineering, surveying, navigation, optics, and electronics. Trigonometry is necessary in other branches of mathematics, including calculus, vectors and complex numbers.

  3. What do you already know about right angled triangles? The sum of the angles is 180o One angle is equal 90o to and the sum of the other two angles is 90o Unknown sides are represented by letters in lower case. Isosceles (90o, 45o, 45o) and scalene triangles (two angles unequal) are the two types of right angled triangles The side opposite the right angle is the longest side The points, or corners, of the triangle are labelled by letters in upper case.  The little square in the corner of the triangle tells us this angle is 90o Angles are written in the inside corners of the triangle Unknown angles are represented by symbols such as the Greek letters: Theta , Beta β, Alpha α

  4. Side names of a right angled triangle In a right angled triangle the three sides are given special names. The hypotenuse (h) is always the longest side and is opposite the right angle. hypotenuse

  5. The other two sides are labelled depending on the angle you are working with. In this case  (Theta) is the angle you are working with. hypotenuse opposite The opposite (o) is the side opposite the angle .  adjacent The adjacent (a) is the side adjacent (next to) the angle .

  6. Label the sides of these triangles    

  7. Unknown sides or angles can be found using Trigonometric ratios called sine, cosine and tangent. Each Trigonometric ratio can be used to calculate an unknown side length or to find out an unknown angle. First we will look into working out unknown side lengths, and we will begin by looking at Sine.

  8. Sine is the ratio of the opposite and hypotenuse. The sine of angle . It is abbreviated to sin . sin  = opposite side length = o hypotenuse length h hypotenuse opposite  adjacent

  9. opposite = sin  x hypotenuse • To work out the opposite side using sine you need to rearrange the formula to make the opposite (the unknown) the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). • To do this you multiply both sides by h to cancel out the divide by h. Note: h divide h = 1, and o x 1 = o. Then swap both sides of the equation. hypotenuse sin  = o h opposite  sin  x h = o adjacent o = sin  x h

  10. Example for: opposite = sin  x hypotenuse • Put the given values (hypotenuse and angle) into the formula: sin  = o • h • sin 43o = b • 16 • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (opposite)the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words: o = sin  x h. • b = sin 43o x 16 • Calculate, and remember the units. • b = 10.9m 16 m b 43o

  11. hypotenuse = opposite x sin  • To work out the hypotenuse using sine you need to rearrange the formula to make the hypotenuse (the unknown) the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). • sin  = o • h • sin  x h = o • h = o • sin 

  12. Example for: hypotenuse = opposite x sin  • Put the given values (opposite and angle) into the formula: sin  = o • h • sin 41o = 19 • q • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (hypotenuse) the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words, h = o x sin . • q = 19 • sin 41o • Calculate, and remember the units. • q = 28.96m q 19m 41o

  13. Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse. The cosine of angle is abbreviated to cos. cos = adjacent side length = a hypotenuse length h hypotenuse opposite  adjacent

  14. Example for: adjacent = cos x hypotenuse • Put the given values (hypotenuse and angle) into the formula: cos = a • h • cos43o = b • 16 • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (opposite)the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words: a = cos x h. • b = cos43o x 16 • Calculate, and remember the units. • b = 11.7m 16 m 43o b

  15. Example for: hypotenuse = adjacent x cos • Put the given values (opposite and angle) into the formula: cos = a • h • cos41o = 19 • q • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (hypotenuse) the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words, h = a x cos. • q = 19 • cos 41o • Calculate, and remember the units. • q = 25.18m q 41o 19m

  16. Tangent is the ratio of the opposite and adjacent. The tangent of angle is abbreviated to tan . tan  = opposite side length = o adjacent length a hypotenuse opposite  adjacent

  17. Example for: opposite = tan  x adjacent • Put the given values (hypotenuse and angle) into the formula: tan  = o • a • tan 43o = b • 16 • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (opposite)the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words: o = tan  x a. • b = tan 43o x 16 • Calculate, and remember the units. • b = 14.9m b 43o 16 m

  18. Example for: adjacent = opposite x tan  • Put the given values (opposite and angle) into the formula: tan = o • a • tan 41o = 19 • q • Rearrange the formula to make the unknown (hypotenuse) the subject (on the left hand side of the equation). In other words, a = o xtan . • q = 19 • tan 41o • Calculate, and remember the units. • q = 21.86m 19m 41o q

  19. Remembering all the trigonometric ratios The following mnemonic can be used to help you remember the trigonometric ratios. SOH – CAH – TOA The value of each of these ratios for any angle can be calculated by measuring two specific side lengths of the right-angled triangle containing that angle and dividing them.

  20. Mixed and practical problems H Label the sides o, a, h for the given angle. Use SOH – CAH –TOA to determine which ratio to use. Put the values into the formula. Rearrange the formula to make the unknown the subject. Calculate, remembering units. Note: When solving practical problems – draw the diagram first. A O 55o • have a and h, so use cos • cos = a • h • cos55o = f • 8.7 • f = cos55o x 8.7 • f = 5cm 8.7cm f

  21. Calculating an unknown angle To do this you need to divide by sin, cos or tan. This is called the inverse and is written and sin-1, cos-1 or tan-1. sin  = o h  = sin-1 x o h cos = a h  = cos-1 x a h tan  = o a  = tan-1 x o a

  22. Example for: Calculating unknown angles. H • have o and h, so use sin  • sin  = o • h • sin  = 11 • 16 •  = sin-111 • 16 •  = 43.43 O 16m A 11m 
