    The document introduces the six trigonometric ratios used to relate angles and sides of right triangles: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. It defines each ratio using the terms opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse. The ratios can be remembered using the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA". Special right triangles including 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles have fixed ratio properties that allow calculating trig functions without a calculator.

    Introduction to the six


    trigonometric ratios
     In greek ‘Trig’ means
    triangle and ‘metic’ is
    for measurement. The
    Trigonometric rations are
    used to express
    relationship between
    angles and sides of a
    right triangle ( a
    triangle with one 90°
    angle).

     The non-right angle is


    usually designated by a

    trigonometric ratios
     The side opposite to
    right angle is designated
    as hypotenuse.

     The side opposite to the


    angle θ is labeled as
    opposite side.

     The side (other than


    hypotenuse) next to the
    angle θ is the adjacent
    side.
    Introduction to the six
    trigonometric ratios
     In right triangle
    Trigonometry there are
    six possible ratios
    (functions). These six
    possible ratios are:
    ◦ SINE ◦ SECANT

    COSINE COSECANT

    Introduction to the six
    trigonometric ratios
     These six ratios
    represent all the ways to
    compare two sides of a
    right triangle. Notice
    that cosecant is the
    reciprocal of sine,
    secant is the reciprocal
    of cosine and cotangent
    is the reciprocal of
    tangent. The hypotenuse
    will never vary in its
    location however, the
    opposite and adjacent

    functions
     Consider the right
    triangle on the left. For
    each angle P or Q, there
    are six functions, each
    function is the ratio of
    two sides of the

    angle (x) in question.
     o is the length of the
    side opposite the angle.

     These 9 letters are a
    memory aid to remember
    the ratios for the three
    primary functions - sin,
    cos and tan. Pronounced a
    bit like "soaka towa".

     Sine is Opposite over


    Hypotenuse

     Cosine is Adjacent over

    Trigonometric ratios of
    Special Angles
     Until now, we have used the calculator to
    evaluate the sine, cosine, and tangent of
    an angle. However, it is possible to
    evaluate the trig functions for certain
    angles without using a calculator.

     This is because there are two special


    triangles whose side ratios we know!
    These two triangles are the 45-45-90
    triangle and the 30-60-90 triangle.
    The special triangles
    30-60-90 triangles
     A 30-60-90 triangle is
    a right triangle with
    a 30 , degree degree
    angle and a 60, degree
    degree angle.

     The hypotenuse is
    twice as long as the
    shortest leg
     The longer leg is
    the square root 3
    times the shorter
    leg
    The special triangles
    45-45-90 triangles
     A 45-45-90 triangle is
    a right triangle with
    two 45 degree degree
    angles.

     The hypotenuse is
    the square root of
    two times longer
    than either leg
