2.1 – Angles in standard position Chapter 2: Trigonometry
Which diagrams shows an angle of 70° at standard position? How might we define an angle at standard position? An angle in standard position is the position of an angle when its initial arm is on the positive x-axis and its vertex is at the origin.
activity • Fold the paper that was handed out in half lengthwise and make a crease down the middle. • Take corner C to the centre fold line and make a crease, DE. • Fold corner B so that BE lies on the edge of segment DE. The fold will be along line segment C’E. Fold the overlap (the grey-shaded region) under to complete the equilateral triangle.
Activity (cont) • Assume that our Equilateral Triangle has side lengths of 2 units. • To obtain a 30°-60°-90° triangle, fold the triangle in half. • Label the angles in the triangle as 30°, 60° and 90°. • Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the exact measure of the third side of the triangle. • c2 = a2 + b2 • c2 = 12 + 22 • c2 = 1 + 4 = 5 • c =
Reference angle A reference angle is the acute angle whose vertex is the origin and whose arms are the terminal arm of the angle and the x-axis.
Special triangles • For angles of 30°, 45°, and 60°, we can determine the exact values of trigonometric ratios. What length is c?
sin(30°) = sin(60°) = cos(30°) = cos(60°) = tan(30°) = tan(60°) = sin(45°) = cos(45°) = tan(45°) =
example Determine the reference angle, θR, if θ= 300°.
example Allie is learning to play the piano. Her teacher uses a metronome to help her keep time. The pendulum arm of the metronome is 10 cm long. For one particular tempo, the setting results in the arm moving back and forth from a start position of 60° to 120°. What horizontal distance does the tip of the arm move in one beat? Give an exact answer. Draw a diagram: • I know the hypotenuse and the angle, and want the adjacent, so I should use cosine. • cos(60) = a/10 • a = 10cos(60) = 10(1/2) (from the special triangle) • a = 5 • So, half-a-beat is 5 cm, so one whole beat must travel a horizontal distance of 10 cm.

2.2 – Trigonometric ratios of any angle Chapter 2: Trigonometry
Trigonometric ratios for angles greater than 90° • Get out some graph paper. Plot the point A(3,4). Which quadrant is it in? Draw the angle in standard position with terminal arm going through point A. • Draw a line going down from point A to the x-axis. • What is the length of r? How could we find out? • r2 = 32 + 42 = 25 • r = 5 • What are the trig ratios for θ? • sinθ = 4/5 • cosθ = 3/5 • tanθ = 4/3 • What is the measure of θ? • θ = sin-1(4/5) = 53°
Trig ratios continued • What is the relationship of each trig ratio and r and A’s coordinates? • sinθ = y/r, cosθ = x/r, tanθ = y/x • Reflect point A in the y-axis and call it point C. Draw a line segment to point C. What are its coordinates? Draw a line down from point C to the x-axis. • Label the point of intersection with the x-axis as point D. • Using our relationships of the trig ratios and C’s coordinates and r, what are the the trig ratios of ∠COB. • sin∠COB = y/r = 4/5 • cos∠COB = x/r = -3/5 • tan∠COB = y/x = -4/3 • ∠COB = cos-1(-3/5) = 127° • ∠COD = 180 – 127 = 53°
Trig ratios ∠AOB sin∠AOB = 4/5 cos∠AOB = 3/5 tan∠AOB = 4/3 ∠COB sin∠COB = 4/5 cos∠COB = -3/5 tan∠COB = -4/3 C(-3, 4) E(-3, -4) • Why are some of the trig ratios positive while others are negative? • What do you think would happen if we reflected point C in the x-axis, to obtain point E? What would its coordinates be? • Which trig ratios would be positive and which would be negative? sin∠EOB = -3/5 cos∠EOB = -4/5 tan∠EOB = 4/3
Trig ratios So,recall: ∠COB (Quadrant II) sin∠COB = 4/5 cos∠COB = -3/5 tan∠COB = -4/3 ∠AOB (Quadrant I) sin∠AOB = 4/5 cos∠AOB = 3/5 tan∠AOB = 4/3 C(-3, 4) E(-3, -4) G(3,-4) ∠EOB (Quadrant III) sin∠EOB = -4/5 cos∠EOB = -3/5 tan∠EOB = 4/3 ∠GOB (Quadrant IV) sin∠GOB = -4/5 cos∠GOB = 3/5 tan∠GOB = -4/3 • What about point G(3,-4)? • sin∠GOB = -4/5 • cos∠GOB= 3/5 • tan∠GOB= -4/3
∠COB (Quadrant II) sin∠COB = 4/5 cos∠COB = -3/5 tan∠COB = -4/3 ∠AOB (Quadrant I) sin∠AOB = 4/5 cos∠AOB = 3/5 tan∠AOB = 4/3 ∠GOB (Quadrant IV) sin∠GOB = -4/5 cos∠GOB = 3/5 tan∠GOB = -4/3 ∠EOB (Quadrant III) sin∠EOB = -4/5 cos∠EOB = -3/5 tan∠EOB = 4/3 Which ratio is positive in each quadrant? All Sine Tangent Cosine
Review For any angle 0° < θ < 180°, formed with its terminal arm through any point P(x,y), the trigonometric ratios can be defined as: sinθ = y/r cosθ = x/r tanθ = y/x All Sine To help remember which ratio is positive in each quadrant, remember “CAST”: Cosine Tangent
example Determine the exact value of cos135°. • What’s the reference angle? • What do we know about a triangle with an angle of 45°? (hint: special triangles) • We know the side lengths! • So, what’s the rule for cosine? • cos135 = x/r We know it should be negative, because quadrant II is only positive for sine!
Try it! Find the exact value of sin240°.
Example Suppose θ is an angle in standard position with terminal arm in quadrant III, and cosθ = -3/4. What are the exact values of sinθ and tanθ? Draw a diagram: • What’s y? • r2 = x2 + y2 • 42 = (-3)2 + y2 • y2 = 16 – 9 = 7 • Now we can compute sine and tangent: sinθ = y/r tanθ = y/x cosθ = x/r (from our rules!) Since it’s in quadrant III, x = -3, and r = 4. Why is y negative?
example Solve for θ: Since θ is between 0° and 180°, it must lie in either quadrant I or II. Cosine is negative, so which quadrant must it be in? All trig ratios are positive in quadrant I, so it must be in quadrant II! Remember the special triangle: • 180 = 30 + θ • θ = 180 – 30 • θ = 150° So the reference angle must be 30°

2.3 – The Sine law Chapter 2: Trigonometry
Handout Complete the handout on the Sine Law to the best of your abilities. Make sure to answer all the questions in their entirety as this is a summative assessment.
example In ΔPQR, ∠P = 36°, p = 24.8 m, and q = 23.4 m. Determine the measure of ∠R, to the nearest degree, and side length r to the nearest tenth of a metre. Draw a diagram: • Since we don’t have either the side or the angle for R, we need to figure one of them out to use the sine law. Which can we work out? • What if we solve for ∠Q first? So, to the nearest degree, ∠R = 110°, and to the nearest metre, r = 39.6 m. Now, if we know ∠Q and ∠P, how can we find ∠R? ∠P = 36° p = 24.8 m ∠Q = ? q = 23.4 m ∠R = ? r = ?
The ambiguous case • When solving a triangle, sometimes a solution doesn’t actually exist—we call this the ambiguous case. If you are given ASA (two angles, with a side between them), then the triangle is uniquely defined. However, if you are given SSA, the ambiguous case may occur. In this case, there are three possible outcomes: • No triangle exists that has the given measures; there is no solution. • One triangle exists that has the given measure; there is one solution • Two distinct triangles exist that have the given measures; there are two distinct solutions
Suppose you are given the measures of side b and ∠A of ΔABC. You can find the height of the triangle by using h = bsinA. In ΔABC, ∠A and side b are constant because they are given. Consider the different possible lengths of side af or a triangle where ∠A is acute:
Suppose you are given the measures of side b and ∠A of ΔABC. You can find the height of the triangle by using h = bsinA. In ΔABC, ∠A and side b are constant because they are given. Consider the different possible lengths of side a for a triangle where ∠A is acute:
example In ΔABC, ∠A = 30°, a = 24 cm, and b = 42 cm. Determine the measures of the other sides and angles. Round your answers to the nearest unit. Possible diagram: ∠A = 30 a = 24 cm ∠B = ? b = 42 cm ∠C = ? c = ? We have SSA, so it’s the ambiguous case. ∠A is acute, so check the conditions: a < bsinA : no solution a = bsinA : one solution a > bsinA : two solutions • sin30 = h/42 • h = 42sin30 • h = 21 But remember, there are TWO possible solutions. ∠B being 61° is only one of them. What’s the other? 24 > 21, So a > bsinA So there are two solutions.
Example (continued) Either: ∠B = 61°, ∠C = 89° and c = 48 cm OR ∠B = 119°, ∠C = 31° and c =25 cm ∠A = 30 a = 24 cm ∠B = ? b = 42 cm ∠C = ? c = ? Case 1: • So, ∠B = 61° • ∠C = 180 – 61 – 30 • ∠C= 89° Case 2: • In case 2, use ∠B = 61° • as the reference angle in quadrant II. • ∠B = 180 – 61 = 119° • ∠C = 180 – 119 – 30 = 31°

2.4 – the cosine law Chapter 2: Trigonometry
The cosine law Everyone draw an acute triangle ΔABC. Measure the sides, and write down the measurements. Make sure your sides and vertices are labeled. We’ll now fill out the handed-out chart together:
The cosine law The cosine law describes the relationship between the cosine of an angle and the lengths of the three sides of any triangle. For any ΔABC, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides opposite to ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C, respectively, the cosine law states that c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cosC. You can also express the formula in different forms to find the lengths of the other sides of the triangle: c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cosC a2= b2+ c2– 2bc cosA b2= a2 + c2– 2ac cosB
Proof of the cosine law In any acute triangle, a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccosA b2= a2 + c2 – 2accosB c2 = a2 + b2 – 2abcosC • Proof: • h2 = c2 – x2 • h2 = b2 – y2 • c2 – x2 = b2 – y2 • c2 = x2 + b2 – y2 • c2 = (a – y)2 + b2 – y2 (since x = a – y) • c2 = a2 – 2ay + y2 + b2 – y2 • c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ay cosC = y/b (cos = adj/hyp) bcosC = y c2 = a2+ b2 – 2ay c2= a2 + b2 – 2ab cosC The other parts can be proven similarly.
example A surveyor needs to find the length of a swampy area near Fishing Lake, Manitoba. The surveyor sets up her transit at a point A. She measures the distance to one end of the swamp as 468.2 m, the distance to the opposite end of the swamp as 692.6 m, and the angle of sight between the two as 78.6°. Determine the length of the swampy area, to the nearest tenth of a metre. • Use the cosine law: • a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cosA • a2= 692.62+ 468.22– 2(692.6)(468.2)cos(78.6°) • a2 = 570 715.205… • a = 755.456… • The length of the swampy area if 755.5 m, to the nearest tenth of a metre.
example In ΔABC, a = 11, b = 5, and ∠C = 20°. Sketch a diagram and determine the length of the unknown side and the measures of the unknown angles, to the nearest tenth. • To solve for the angles we could use either the cosine or the sine law. For practice, we’ll use the cosine law: • a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cosA • cosA = (b2 + c2 – a2)/2bc • cosA = (52 + (6.529)2 – 112)/(2*5*6.529) • ∠A = cos-1[(52 + (6.529)2 – 112)/(2*5*6.529)] • ∠A = 144.816° Sketch a diagram: ∠A = ? a = 11 ∠ B = ? b = 5 ∠ C = 20 c = ? • Use the cosine law: • c2= a2+ b2– 2ab cosC • c2= (11)2+ (5)2– 2(11)(5) cos20 • c2 = 42.633… • c = 6.529… ∠C = 180 – 144.816 – 20 = 15.2° So, c = 6.5, ∠A = 144.8°, ∠C = 15.2°.
