100

When using Trigonometry, the side length NEXT TO the angle is labeled with what abbreviation?

Adjacent

100

Find side length AB

AB = 8.40

200

This trigonometry ratio relates hypotenuse and opposite

What is sine?

200

200

When using Trigonometry, what formula is used to calculate the opposite side when given the Hypotenuse and an angle?

sin θ = O/H

200


35.10o

300

This trig ratio relates opposite and adjacent

What is tangent

300

Using trigonometry, find the value for x:

Cos 37 = adj / hyp

Cos 37 = x / 11

11 Cos 37 = x

x = 8.789

300

In this right triangle 

CAB, ∠A=90°.  Determine ∠B  to the nearest whole degree when  CB=12.8 and AB=3.9. 



Cos^-1 (3.9/12.8) = 72^o 

300

Why is Trig a helpful form of math?

You can determine sides and angles that are not able to be measured by devices.

300

How long is y?

y = 8.67

400

The longest side of a triangle

What is the hypotenuse

400

Using trigonometry, find the value for x:

Tan 54 = opp / adj

Tan 54 = x / 5

5 times 1.376 = x

x = 6.880m

400

What angle does the rocket have to be launched at to reach the rocket base 300 km above Earth?

tan θ=300/90

θ=tan^-1(300/90)

θ=73^o

Inverse trig functions (inverse sine, inverse cosine, inverse tangent) 

500

Using trigonometry, calculate the value for x:

Sin 28 = opp / hyp

Sin 28 = x / 50

50 times .469 = x

x = 23.450m

500
