CONFIDENTIAL2 Warm Up Find the geometric mean of each pair of a number. 1) 3 and 27 2) 6 and 24 3) 8 and 32

Slide 3

CONFIDENTIAL3 Trigonometric Ratios By the AA Similarity Postulate, a right triangle with a given acute angle is similar to every other right triangle with that same acute angle measure. So ABC~DEF~XYZ, and BC/AC = EF/DF = YZ/XZ. These are trigonometric radios. A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of two sides of a right triangle. 32

CONFIDENTIAL4 Trigonometric Ratios DEFINITION SYMBOLS DIAGRAM A B C a b c The sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the leg opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse. The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the leg adjacent to the angle to the length of the hypotenuse. Next page

Slide 12

CONFIDENTIAL12 The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle. So the denominator of a sine or cosine ratio is always greater than the numerator. Therefore the sine and cosine of an acute angle are always positive numbers less than 1. Since the tangent of an acute angle is the ratio of the lengths of the legs, it can have any value greater than 0.

Slide 13

CONFIDENTIAL13 Trigonometric Ratios to Find Lengths Find each length. Round to the nearest hundredth. A) AB AB is adjacent to the given angle, /A. You are given BC, which is opposite /A. Since the adjacent and opposite legs are involved, use a tangent ratio. Write a trigonometric ratio. Substitute the given values. Multiply both sides by AB and divide by tan 41. Simplify the expression. Next page
