1 Lesson : Right Triangle Trigonometry lthough Trigonometry is used to solve many prolems, historially it was first applied to prolems that involve a right triangle. This an e extended to non-right triangles (hapter ), irles and irular motion, and a wide variety of appliations. s we shall see in the next unit, the six parts of any triangle ( sides and angles) are inherently linked through the proesses of Trigonometry. Given that the triangle is a right triangle we know: one angle is 90 ; the side the right angle is the longest in the triangle (and the smallest side is the smallest angle); the remaining two angles are omplementary, and so if we know one other angle we know all three angles in the triangle; the sides are related y Pythagoras Theorem, and so if we know any two sides, we an find the third side of the triangle. Using Trigonometry, if we are given a right triangle and the length of any two sides, we an determine the third side y using Pythagoras Theorem. This in turn is suffiient information to alulate the trigonometri ratios of the angles of the triangle and onsequently the measures of the angles..: THE RELTIONSHIP ETWEEN SIDES ND NGLES OF TRINGLE The sides of the triangle may also e named aording to their relationship to a given angle. In a right triangle, the is always the side the right angle. The side the angle is the alled the side; while the side whih forms one arm of the angle is alled the side. onsider the triangle Δ shown.

2 onsider any two right triangles. If the triangles have one other equal angle, x say, then the third angle of eah triangle, (90 - x), must also e equal. Therefore the two triangles must e similar. y setion., sine the two triangles are similar we know that pairs of orresponding sides are in fixed ratio. PR QR QR PQ Taking these ratios one at a time: PR PQ (90 - x ) P (90 - x ) PR side to PQ x QR side to x PQ x R x Q PR side to x QR side to x Notie also these ratios for an e related to the angle x or to the omplement of the angle, (90 - x ): QR side to ( 90 x ) PQ and PR side to ( 90 x ) PQ To maintain onsisteny, note that PR QR gives us QR PR and so QR side to ( 90 x ) PR side to ( 90 x ) eause these fixed ratios are very important to us we assign them speial names, as you will see in the next setion..: THE DEFINITIONS OF THE TRIGONOMETRI RTIOS IN RIGHT TRINGLE sin a sin os os a tan a a tan a NOTE: Like all ratios, the trigonometri ratios do not have units. Whatever units are used to measure the sides are anelled out during the division proess. Right Triangle Trigonometry Page

3 Trigonometri Ratios of omplimentary ngles In a right triangle the two non-right angles must always sum to 90 and thus are always omplimentary. In the right triangle Δ, = 90, the angles and are omplimentary, and sin = os and os = sin The side is to and to ; the side a is to and to. Thus: side sin a side os and side os side sin Finding the Trigonometri Ratios in a Right Triangle Example : In Δ, = 90, a = and =.

15 .: SOLVING RIGHT TRINGLES The three sides and three angles of any triangle are related through the trigonometri ratios, and we are ale to use trigonometry to determine the measure of the remaining omponents if we are given any three fats aout the triangle. In this setion we are solving right triangles. That is, we know that the triangle has one angle that of 90. Given this and: o the length of two sides, or o the size of one angle and the length of one side, we an find the remaining sides and angles of the triangle. In hapter we will extend our theory to non-right triangles. Solve the Right Triangle Given One ngle and One Side Example : Find the remaining sides and angles of the triangle Δ, given that is a right angle, = 0 and = 0 m. The first step is always to draw a diagram of the triangle. Lael the diagram with the information given and the unknowns to e found. In this example we know, and. We need to find, a, and a 0 0 To find we an use the fat that the two aute angles of the triangle are omplementary, To find a and we need to identify their relative positions in a trigonometri ratio of whih we know two out of the three omponents. To find a, we an use either os (sine a is the side to the given angle, and we 0 know the ) or sin (sine a is the side to the alulated angle, and we know the ). a 0 Using os : os Sustituting the known values for and, a os0 0 Multiplying oth sides of the equation y 0: Using a alulator a 0os 0 a 7.0 alulator: 0 x os 0 = Sine the least numer of signifiant figures in the data is three, answers in this prolem should e rounded orret to three signifiant figures: a 7. 7 Right Triangle Trigonometry Page

Using sin : sin Sustituting the known values of and : sin 0 0 Multiplying oth sidesy 0: 0sin 0 Usinga alulator : a. LTERNTE: Find using os : os hptotenuse Sustituting the known values of and : os0 0 Multiplying oth sidesy 0: alulator: 0os 0 Usinga alulator : 0 x os 0 = a. alulator: 0 x sin 0 = LTERNTE: We ould also find using Pythagoras Theorem. This is the least appealing method eause it uses an approximated alulation rather than an exat measure. NOTE: While heking our alulations, notie that the smallest side, =. m, is the smallest angle, = 0 ; the middle side, a = 7.7 m, is the middle angle, = 0, and the, = 0 m, is the longest side of the triangle.

Sine one angle of Δ is we know that the triangle is an isoseles triangle with two angles of ; the sides these angles are equal, and oth units Therefore = and =. In fat we also know that the sides are in the fixed ratio of :: and do not need to use trigonometri ratios to find in this ase. However to demonstrate the use of trigonometry, we will use the sine ratio to find. To find : sin sin sin We know sin, hene Right Triangle Trigonometry Page 7

To find sin sin sin 7 The easiest method to find is to use the fat that it is the omplement of lternately, we an use the osine ratio: os alulator: INV sin ( ) = os os alulator: INV os ( ) = The easiest method to find is to use Pythgoras Theorem or etter yet, to reognize the missing element of the {,, } Pythagorean Triad to find that the exat measure of is units. lternately, we an use the sine, osine or tangent ratios to find : tan tan7 Re arranging : tan 7 This is the least appealing method eause we are using an approximated alulation when the more aurate given data ould e used.

Example 0: ft ladder leans against a wall and reahes to a height of ft. What angle does the ladder form with the wall? Draw a diagram. Let e the angle os os ft ft Therefore the ladder makes a angle with the wall. Example : satellite is oriting 7 miles aove the earth s surfae.

22 ngles of Elevation and Depression ngles of Elevation and Depression are measured relative to the oserver. n imaginary line drawn from the eye of the oserver to the ojet eing oserved is alled the line of sight. The horizontal is the line of sight to an ojet diretly in front of, neither aove nor elow, the eye of the oserver. If the ojet eing oserved is aove the horizontal, then the angle etween the line of sight and the horizontal is alled the angle of elevation. (nother way to think of this is the angle the oserver would need to look up to the ojet.) If the ojet is elow the horizontal, then the angle etween the line of sight and the horizontal is alled the angle of depression. (nother way to think of this is the angle the oserver would need to look down to the ojet.) HORIZONTL ngle of Elevation ngle of Depression Note that the angle of elevation or depression is always measured from the oserver to the ojet. HORIZONTL Example : To determine the height of a tree, a student oserves that it asts a ft shadow when the angle of elevation of the sun (from the top of the shadow) is. Find the height of the tree. We need to find h, the height of the tree. First draw a diagram. h h The top of the tree, ase of the tree/foot of the shadow, and tip of the shadow form the three verties of a right triangle. We know one angle and two sides of the triangle: the angle of elevation, the length of the shadow whih is an side of the angle; and want to find the height of the tree, whih is the side of the triangle to the angle. Thus we use the tangent ratio. h tan h tan h 78 The tree is approximately 78 ft in height. Right Triangle Trigonometry Page
