    This document provides examples and problems involving trigonometric ratios and applications of trigonometry. It begins by asking the reader to find various trigonometric ratios for a right triangle. It then provides examples of common trigonometric angles and ratios. Word problems make up the bulk of the document, asking the reader to use trigonometric concepts like law of sines and cosines to solve applications involving triangles formed by things like ladders, wires, boats and ocean depths.
