Trigonometry Day 1

The document provides an overview and lesson plan for a trigonometry class. It includes instructions for class materials needed, warm up exercises to find missing side lengths of triangles, examples of solving for missing variables using trigonometric ratios, notes on trigonometric functions and the SOH CAH TOA mnemonic, practice applying trig ratios to find missing sides, and homework assignments from the textbook. Students are asked to complete measurement exercises and assemble a clinometer for the next class.

Determine the ratios in fraction form and also in decimal form rounded to
the nearest ten-thousandth.
Notes 9.1 and 9.2 - Trigonometric Functions

The trigonometric (trig) functions are Sine, Cosine,


and Tangent.

These functions can be used to find angle measures,


knowing the ratio of the sides
OR length of a side,
knowing one side and an angle measure. 

They are used only for RIGHT triangles!


Notes 9.1 and 9.2 - Trigonometric Functions

These section numbers are for the Prentice


The trigonometricHall
(trig) functions
Geometry are Sine,you
Book. Remember, Cosine,
have
and Tangent. online access to that book. Use it for extra
examples, practice, etc. 

These functions can be used to find angle measures,


knowing the ratio of the sides
OR length of a side,
knowing one side and an angle measure. 

They are used only for RIGHT triangles!


The trig functions are:
Opposite O
Sin = 
Hypotenuse H

Cos =
Adjacent A

Hypotenuse H

Tan =
Opposite O

Adjacent A
where O = opposite, A = adjacent, and H = hypotenuse

and  is an angle measurement.


SOH CAH TOA
To set up trig ratios, look at the first letter
of the trig function you’re trying to
evaluate and use SOH CAH TOA to help
you set up the ratio!

Finding missing side lengths with the Trigonometric Ratios

 To solve for missing side lengths, set up the


trigonometric ratio, and put the trig function
over one, then cross-multiply to solve.

Ex 1: Find y.
SOH CAH TOA
Ex 2: Find x.

Ex 3: Find x.
You Try: (Remember SOH CAH TOA)
Use the trig ratios to find the length of the side labeled
with a variable. All angle measures for these examples
are in degrees.

X = 20.8 x = 8.3 x = 17.0

4) 5)

X = 5.5 x = 13.7
