Trigonometry

Objective: In the end of the lesson, student will be able to


find the 6 trigonometric functions of an angle.

Trigonometry is concerned with the


connection between the sides and
angles in any right angled triangle.

Angle
The sides of a right -angled triangle are
given special names:
hypotenuse, the opposite and the adjacent.
The hypotenuse is the longest side and is
always opposite the right angle.
The opposite and adjacent sides refer to
another angle, other than the 90o.

the initial ray is in the positive x-axis.


Definition: Unit Circle is a circle
where in the center is at the origin
and the radios is 1 unit.

Definition: Terminal point is the


point of intersection between the
terminal ray and the unit circle.
Example 1 – Evaluating
Trigonometric Functions

 Use the triangle in Figure 4.25 to find the exact values of the
six trigonometric functions of .

Figure 4.25
Example 1 – Solution cont’d

 By the Pythagorean Theorem,(hyp)2 = (opp)2 + (adj)2,


it follows that

 hyp =

 =

 = 5.
Example 1 – Solution cont’d

 So, the six trigonometric functions of  are


The Six Trigonometric
Functions

 That is, if  is an acute angle, then the following relationships


are true.

 sin(90  –  ) = cos  cos(90  –  ) = sin 

 tan(90  –  ) = cot  cot(90  –  ) = tan 

 sec(90  –  ) = csc  csc(90  –  ) = sec 


Example: Find the 6 trigonometric
functions of the following angles:

1.  900 4.  1800

2.  270 0 5.  300

3.  360 0 6.  450

Solution :
The Six Trigonometric
Functions

 In the box, note that sin 30  = = cos 60 . This occurs


because 30  and 60  are complementary angles, and, in
general, it can be shown from the right triangle definitions that
cofunctions of complementary angles are equal.
Definition: Reference angle is the
acute angle formed by the terminal
ray and the x-axis.
Example: Find the 6 trigonometric
functions of the following angles:

1.  2250

2.  2100

3.  3000

4.  3150

Hint: Study in advance about


reference angle.
