• When it is too difficult to obtain the measurements directly, we can operate on a model instead.
• A model is a larger or smaller version of the original object.
![Page 3: Using Various Trigonometric Ratios to Find Lengths of inaccessible distances.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d0d5503460f949e21f2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• A model must have similar proportions as the initial object to be useful.
•Trigonometry uses TRIANGLES for models.
We use similar triangles to represent the situation being examined.

In the interest of efficiency..
• Drawing triangles every time is too time consuming.
• Someone has already done it for us, taken all the measurements, and loaded them into your calculator
• Examine the following diagram

As the angle changes, so
shall all the sides
of the triangle.
Recall the Trig names for different sides of a triangle…

Trig was first studied by Hipparchus (Greek), in 140
BC.Aryabhata (Hindu) began to
study specific ratios.
For the ratio OPP/HYP, the word “Jya” was used
![Page 8: Using Various Trigonometric Ratios to Find Lengths of inaccessible distances.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d0d5503460f949e21f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Brahmagupta, in 628, continued studying the
same relationship and “Jya” became “Jiba”
“Jiba became Jaib” which means “fold” in arabic

European Mathmeticians translated “jaib” into latin:
SINUS(later compressed to SIN by
Edmund gunter in 1624)

Given a right triangle, the 2 remaining angles must total 90O.
A = 10O, then B = 80O
A = 30O, then B = 60O

The ratio ADJ/HYP compliments the ratio OPP/HYP in the
similar mathematical way.
Therefore, ADJ/HYP is called “Complimentary Sinus”

You have been hired to refurbish the Weslyville Tower…
(copy the diagram, 10 lines high, the width of your page.)
In order to bring enough gear, you need to know the height of the tower……
How would you determine the tower’s height?

Imagine the sun casting a shadow on the ground.
Turn this situation into a right angled triangle
![Page 18: Using Various Trigonometric Ratios to Find Lengths of inaccessible distances.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d0d5503460f949e21f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The length of the shadow can be measured directly
The primary angle can also be measured
directly
