1 CONDENSED LESSON 1.1 Right Tringle Trigonometr In this lesson ou will lern out the trigonometri rtios ssoited with right tringle use trigonometri rtios to find unknown side lengths in right tringle use trigonometri inverses to find unknown ngle mesures in right tringle Suppose ou fl kite. There is strong wind, so the string is pulled tut. You hve mrked the string, so ou know how muh string hs een let out, nd ou n mesure the ngle the string mkes with the horizontl. You n use trigonometri rtio to find the kite s height. In this lesson ou will lern how. Trigonometr reltes the ngle mesures in right tringles to the side lengths. First, rell tht tringles with the sme ngle mesures re similr, nd so the rtios of orresponding sides re equl. In right tringles, there re speil nmes for the rtios. For n ute ngle A in right tringle, the sine of A is Hpotenuse the rtio of the length of the leg opposite A to the length of the hpotenuse. sin A opposite leg A hpotenuse The osine of A is the rtio of the length of the leg C djent to A to the length of the hpotenuse. os A djent leg hpotenuse This leg is djent to A. The tngent of A is the rtio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the djent leg. opposite leg tn A djent leg Red Emple A in our ook, nd then red the emple elow. This leg is opposite A. EXAMPLE Find the unknown length,. 1 C 5 A Solution You know the length of the side opposite to the 5 ngle, nd ou wnt to find the length of the hpotenuse. Therefore, ou n use the sine rtio. sin sin 5 (ontinued) Disovering Advned Alger Condensed Lessons CHAPTER Ke Curriulum Press

Emple in our ook uses the inverse tngent funtion. Red the emple refull. Investigtion: Steep Steps Red the opening prgrph of the investigtion in our ook. Complete Steps 1 of the investigtion nd then ompre our nswers to those elow. Step 1 First sketh step with the mimum rise nd minimum run. Let the ngle of inlintion e. euse the floor nd the run re oth horizontl (nd thus prllel), the ngle etween the run nd the hpotenuse is lso. You know the lengths of the opposite nd djent sides, so use tngent to solve for. tn tn in. The ngle of inlintion is out 38. Step Two sets of stirs tht will fit oth the ode nd the rule of thum re set with unit run of 11 in. nd unit rise of 6.5 in. nd set with unit run of 11.5 in. nd unit rise of 6 in. The respetive ngles of inlintion for these sets re given tn nd tn An emple of set of stirs tht fits the rule of thum ut does not fit the ode is one with unit rise of 8.75 in. nd unit run of 8.75 in. The ngle of inlintion for this set is given tn Step 3 Refer to the photo nd digrm on pge 68 of our ook.. There re infinitel mn designs possile, ut not ll designs will meet the ode given in Step 1. For emple, stir with unit rise of out 15.6 in. nd unit run of out 1 in. would fit the 0.8 ngle of inlintion ut would not fit the ode, euse the rise is too high.. To find the solution, let the unit run e represented r. Then the unit rise will e represented 17.5 r. To find r, use the tngent rtio. tn r r r r r 17.5 r r 17.5 r r 1.68 in. So the run is 1.68 in. nd the rise is in. Step Use the tngent funtion nd let e the ngle of inlintion. Using tn 1 16, tn nd using tn 1 0, tn So the ngle should e etween.86 nd in. 176 CHAPTER 1 Disovering Advned Alger Condensed Lessons 010 Kendll Hunt Pulishing

The Lw of Sines In this lesson ou will disover nd ppl the Lw of Sines, whih desries reltionship etween the sides nd ngles of n olique tringle You hve investigted the reltionships etween the sides nd ngles of right tringles. Now ou will investigte reltionships etween the sides nd ngles of nonright, or olique, tringles. Investigtion: Olique Tringles Step 1 Drw n ute tringle AC. Lel the side opposite A s, the side opposite s, nd the side opposite C s. Then, drw the ltitude from A to C. Lel the height h. At right is one emple. Step From this digrm, ou n write the following equtions: A h sin h, or h sin C sin C h, or h sin C euse oth sin nd sin C re equl to h, the re equl to eh other. Tht is, sin sin C Dividing oth sides of the eqution ove gives sin sin C Step 3 Now, drw the ltitude from to AC nd lel the height j. Using method similr to tht in Step, ou should find tht sin A sin C (Mke sure ou n derive this eqution on our own!) Steps nd 5 You n omine the proportions from Steps nd 3 to write n etended proportion: sin A sin sin C The tringle ou drew in Step 1 ws ute.

Emple shows how to ppl the Lw of Sines to find n unknown side length in tringle when ou know the mesures of two ngles nd the length of one side. Red the emple refull. Test our understnding finding the length of side AC. (Hint: You ll need to find the mesure of first.) You should find tht the length of AC is out 15. m. You n lso use the Lw of Sines to find n unknown ngle mesure when ou know two side lengths nd the mesure of the ngle opposite one of the sides. However, in this se ou m find more thn one solution. To help ou understnd wh there m e more thn one solution, look t the digrms on pge 693 of our ook nd red Emple C. Here is nother emple.

For eh tringle, find the mesures of nd C nd the length of side AC. The two possiilities re shown elow.

In Emple A in our ook, ou re given two side lengths nd the mesure of the ngle etween the sides, nd ou must find the length of the third side. The Lw of Sines nnot e pplied in this sitution. Work through the solution to see how to find the unknown side length. If ou use the proedure in Emple A in generl se where ou re given two side lengths, nd, of tringle, AC, nd the mesure of the inluded ngle, C, ou get the Lw of Cosines: os C where is opposite C. Notie tht this looks like the Pthgoren Theorem with n etr term, os C. (In ft, if C is right ngle, then os C is 0 nd the eqution eomes the Pthgoren Theorem.).
