The Six Trigonometric Ratios

There are six functions that are the core of trigonometry.

There are three primary ones that you need to understand completely:
• Sine (sin)
• Cosine (cos)
• Tangent (tan)
The other three are not used as often. They can derived from the three
primary functions. Because they can easily be derived, calculators and
spreadsheets do not usually have them.
• Secant (sec)
• Cosecant (csc)
• Cotangent (cot)
All six functions have three-letter abbreviations (shown in parentheses after
each function).

Consider the right triangle below:

hypotenuse
opposite b c

a 𝜃
C adjacent B

• a is the length of the side adjacent to theta (𝜃) or angle B.

• b is the length of the side opposite theta (𝜃) or angle B.
• c is the length of the hypotenuse.
• 𝜃 represents the measure of angle B in either degrees or radians.

3
NegOr_Q4_Mathematics9_Module1_v2
 For each angle, B or A, there are six functions. Each function is the ratio of
two sides of the triangle. The only difference between the six functions is which
pair of sides we use.

We will use the convention that angles are symbolized by capital letters, while the
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
side of 𝜃 = sin
sineopposite 𝜃 =angle
each cosecant
will carry the same letter of 𝜃in=lower
symbol, csc 𝜃case.
= 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒

e.g. the side opposite ∠A is a

The primary functions:

𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
Sine sin x =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
Cosine cos x =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
Tangent tan x =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡

In the following table, note how each function is the reciprocal of one of the basic
functions sin, cos, tan.
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 1
Cosecant csc x = csc x =
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 sin 𝑥
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 1
Secant sec x = sec x =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 cos 𝑥
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 1
Cotangent cot x = cot x =
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 tan 𝑥

SOH-CAH-TOA → is a mnemonic used for remembering the equations the ratios for the
primary functions - sin, cos and tan.
→ pronounced a bit like "soka towa".
Note: The ratios are constant because the functions are a ratio of two side lengths so they
always produce the same result for a given angle, regardless of the size of the triangle.

s = 12 cos 53° p = 12 sine 53°

s = 7.221780278 p = 9.583626121

c. Since m∠P + m∠T + m∠S = 180° ( angle sum in a triangle)

53° + 90° + m∠S = 180°
m∠S = 180° - 143°
m∠S = 37°

Using the Calculator to Find Trigonometric Ratios

The values of the trigonometric ratios for any particular angle are
constant, regardless of the length of the sides. These values can also be found
using a calculator. Also, you can use a calculator to find an angle when you are
given a trigonometric ratio.

Let us practice of using a calculator:

a. Finding a ratio given the angle

Example: To find the value of 38⁰, ensure that your calculator is

operating in degrees.

Solution:

Press sin 38 = 0.615661475

The calculator should give sin 38⁰ = 0.616, correct three decimal places.

b. Finding an angle given the ratio

In finding the size of the angle to the nearest minute, given the value of
the trigonometric ratio, just follow the steps in the examples below.

Example: sin 𝜃 = 0.725, find 𝜃 to the nearest minute

Solution:

Press 2ndF sin 0.725 = 46.46884783

To convert this to degrees/minutes/seconds mode

Press 2ndF D°𝐌′𝐒

The calculator gives you 46° 28’(nearest minute)

6
NegOr_Q4_Mathematics9_Module1_v2
c. Degrees and minutes

So far, all angles have been in whole degrees. However, one degree
can be divided equally into 60 minutes. Furthermore, one minute can be divided
equally into 60 seconds. Angle measurement can also be expressed in degree/
minute form. We can use a calculator to convert a degree measure from decimal
form to degree, minute and second form.

Example: Write 54.46⁰ in degree and minutes, giving an answer correct to the
nearest minute.

Solution:
Press 54.46° 2ndF D°𝐌′𝐒

The calculator gives 54⁰ 27’36”, or 54⁰ 28’ (nearest minute)

Try this:
1. Use your calculator to find the values of the following.
a. cos 85⁰ c. tan 35⁰
b. sin 7⁰ d. cos 65⁰

2. Using the degrees/minutes/seconds button on your calculator, write each of the

following in degrees and minutes, give answers to the nearest minute.
a.17.8⁰ c. 63.7⁰
b. 48.52⁰ d. 108.33⁰

3. Find the size of the angle 𝜃 where 𝜃 is acute.

a. sin 𝜃= 0.529 c. tan 𝜃 = 1.8
b. cos 𝜃 = 0.493 d. cos 𝜃 = 0.5
