Digital Lesson Right Triangle Trigonometry
The six trigonometric functions of a right triangle, with an acute angle , are defined by ratios of two sides of the triangle. The sides of the right triangle are: hyp the side opposite the acute angle , the side adjacent to the acute angle , θ and the hypotenuse of the right triangle. opp adj The trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. sin = cos =adj hyp tan =opp adj hyp csc = opp sec =hyp adj cot =adj opp Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc.

Geometry of the 30 -60 -90 triangle Consider an equilateral triangle with each side of length 2. 30○ The three sides are equal, so the angles are equal; each is 60. 2 The perpendicular bisector of the base bisects the opposite angle. 60○ 2 1 Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the altitude, .

Trigonometric Identities are trigonometric equations that hold for all values of the variables. Example: sin = cos(90 ), for 0 < < 90 Note that and 90 are complementary angles. hyp Side a is opposite θ and also adjacent to 90○– θ a θ b sin = and cos (90 ) = . So, sin = cos (90 ).

Fundamental Trigonometric Identities for 0 < < 90. Cofunction Identities sin = cos(90 ) cos = sin(90 ) tan = cot(90 ) cot = tan(90 ) sec = csc(90 ) csc = sec(90 ) Reciprocal Identities sin = 1/csc cot = 1/tan cos = 1/sec = 1/cos tan = 1/cot csc = 1/sin Quotient Identities tan = sin /cos cot = cos /sin Pythagorean Identities sin 2 + cos 2 = 1 tan 2 + 1 = sec 2 Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc.
