TRIGONOMETRIC VALUES
What are the exact trigonometric values of
the angles in the following triangles?
UNIT CIRCLE
PAIR WORK
Relate the trigonometric ratios of obtuse and acute
angles. Do the discover activity on page 585.
GENERALIZATION
For any acute or obtuse 𝛳,
a) sin 𝛳 = sin (180 - 𝛳)
b) cos 𝛳 = -cos (180 - 𝛳)
What is tan 𝛳?
c) tan 𝛳 = -tan (180 - 𝛳)
EXAMPLES
Given that sin 56° = 0.829, cos 134° = -0.695, and
sin 60° = 0.866, without using a calculator, write
down the value of the following:
a) sin 124
b) cos 46
c) sin 120
YOUR TURN
Given that sin 54° = 0.809, cos 108° = -0.309, and
sin 70° = 0.940, without using a calculator, write
down the value of the following:
a) sin 126
b) cos 72
c) sin 110
WHAT IF…
Without using a calculator, write down the
value of the following:
a) sin 150
b) cos 120
c) cos 135
EXAMPLES (APPLICATION)
YOUR TURN
LET’S PRACTICE
Without using a calculator, answer the following
items in your student book (page 587)
y = sin x
y = cos x
y = tan x
LET’S PRACTICE!
Which other angle
LET’S EXTEND! between 0° and 360°
has a sine of 0.5?
cos 𝛳 = - cos(180 - 𝛳)
cos 𝛳 = cos(360 - 𝛳)
Which other angle
between 0° and 360°
has a tangent of 1?
tan 𝛳 = -tan(180 - 𝛳)
tan 𝛳 = tan (180 + 𝛳)
LET’S PRACTICE
Without using a calculator, write each of the
following in terms of the sine, cosine, or tangent
of another angle between 0° and 360°.
a) angle ABC
b) length of side AB
c) length of side BC
