SOHCAHTOA • Sin = opp/hyp • Cos = adj/hyp • Tan = opp/adj • Sec = hyp/adj • Csc= hyp/opp • Cot = adj/opp
Example • Given the triangle with legs 3 and 4, evaluate all 6 trig functions for
Special trig values • Sin cos tan
Remaining identities • Reciprocal Identities • Quotient Identites
Example Use Trig identities to transform one side of the equation into the other: a) b)
Applying trig identities • Let be an acute angle such that . Find the values of and .
Example • A surveyer is standing 50 ft from the base of a large tree. The surveyor measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tree as 71.5. How tall is the tree?
Example • You are 200 yds from a river. Rather than walking directly to the river, you walk 400 yds along a straight path to the rivers edge. Find the acute angle between this path and the river’s edge.
