The side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.
What is the hypotenuse?
The trig function that is defined as opposite over hypotenuse.
What is SINE?
What is the tangent ratio given that theta is angle A?
24/7
What is the only type of triangle you can use trig ratios with?
What is a right triangle?
This trig function is defined as adjacent over hypotenuse.
What is COSINE?
Solve for y.
y = 2.6
The phrase we use to remember our Trig Ratios.
What is SOH CAH TOA?
This trig function is defined as opposite over adjacent.
What is TANGENT?
What is side a?
a = 11.5
The formula needed when a side length is missing from a right triangle and you have 2 other side lengths
What is the Pythagorean Theorem?
a2+b2=c2
Use this trig function when you do not have the hypotenuse but you have the other two sides.
What is TANGENT?
What trig ratio do you need to use to solve for BC? What is the length of BC?
Cosine
BC = 1.71
What are trig ratios used to solve for?
Trig ratios are used to solve for a side in right triangles.
In a triangle ABC,
B=90 degrees
AB=3, BC=4, AC=5.
The angle represented by the trigonometric ratio is 3/5.
What is cos A?
Solve for b. (Nearest tenth)
b = 7.8
