TRIGONOMETRY - GRADE 9

TRIGONOMETRY - Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships


between angles and side lengths of triangles. In particular, the trigonometric functions
relate the angles of a right triangle with the ratios of its side lengths.

RIGHT TRIANGLES
Trigonometric Functions (For Right Triangles)

Trigo. Funcs. SOH CAH TOA

Reciprocal CHO SHA CAO

Sine (sin) - oppossite/Hypotenuse


Cosine (Cos) - Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent (Tan) - Opposite/Adjacent
Cosecant (csc) - Hypotenuse/Opposite
Secant (sec) - Hypotenuse/Adjacent
Cotangent (cot) - Adjacent/Opposite

The side opposite to the right angle is the hypothenuse and is the longest side of the triangle.

ANGLE OF ELEVATION & DEPRESSION

Angle of Elevation - an acute angle formed between the horizontal line (eye level) and the
line of sight when looking at a higher altitude.
Angle of Depression - an acute angle formed between the horizontal line (eye level) and the
line of sight when looking at a lower altitude.
Horizontal line - the eye level
Line of sight - what or where is the subject looking at

Example illustrations:
Alternate Angles has applications in some word problems in AoD

Solving for missing parts of Right Triangles uses the Trigonometric Functions (for sides) and
inverse functions (for angles. ) Some problems also involve using the Pythagorean Theorem
and the Sum of Interior Angles of a triangle.

SPECIAL RIGHT TRIANGLES

45-45-90
30-60-90

45-45-90

Hypothenuse is the leg multiplied by the square root of 2. The leg is congruent to the other
leg and is the quotient of the hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2
30-60-90

The hypothenuse is twice the shorter leg. The longer leg (opposite of 60) is the shorter leg
multiplied by square root of three and the shorter leg (opposite of 30) is hypothenuse
divided by two or the longer leg divided by the square root of three.

These ratios will help you evaluate parts that you will need to find in some problems that
sometimes incorporate Trigonometric Ratios (for example finding cos(30) in a 30-60-90
triangle, you will have to solve for the missing parts first then substitute corresponding
parts to the ratios and solve that to get your final answer.)

UNIT CIRCLE
You can familiarize yourself with the unit circle.

The pattern for drawing the unit circle is (starting from zero) 30, 15, 15, and 30 for each
quadrant until you complete 360 degrees.

Cosines are considered on the x-axis and sines are on the y-axis.

Computing for the Tangent(x) (tan) of an angle is equal to sine(x)/cosine(x)

Reciprocal Ratios also apply in the unit circle (CSC, sec, and cot)

Since each part of a unit circle has values, operations can be applied (ex. cos(30) + 2sin(45) -
(tan60)^2)

OBLIQUE TRIANGLES
Laws of Sines

Side “a” divided by the sine of angle A is equal to the side “b” divided by the sine of angle B is
equal to the side “c” divided by the sine of angle C.
Can be applied in ASA, SAA, and SSA (ambiguous cases) triangles
Substitute lang pag ASA and SAA

AMBIGUOUS CASES (bear with me nalang)

tldr, if it doesn’t make sense, disregard


With the given, identify the parts and label them correctly
Using the formula ng laws of sine, compute for an angle using the inverse sine
Inverse sine has limited range of negative one (-1) to one (1), when typed into a calculator,
it will come out as an error, therefore no triangles are formed.
If there is an angle computed, the next step is to check if there are one or two triangles
by subtracting the newly computed angle from 180 degrees, with the new angle check
if it doesn’t violate the sum of int. angles of a triangle.
The first angle will always work and show a solution, if the second angle fits doon sa
180 degrees, you have two triangles to solve for.
Solve muna ung triangle ng first angle, tapos solve mo naman ung second triangle with
the second triangle.
Watch: 3:45 timestamp
Laws of cosine

the law of cosines relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its
angles.
Works in SSS and SAS triangles.
substitute lang basic

+ finding height of triangle hehe
