them.
• 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
• 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.  
• 4. Model with mathematics.
• 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
• 6. Attend to precision.

Three Trigonometric Ratios
• Sine – abbreviated ‘sin’.
– Ratio: sin θ = opposite side
hypotenuse

• Cosine - abbreviated ‘cos’.


– Ratio: cos θ = adjacent side
hypotenuse

• Tangent - abbreviated ‘tan’.


– Ratio: tan θ = opposite side
adjacent side
Let’s practice…
Write the ratio for sin A

tan for Angle B:

Sin B = b Tan B = b
Cos B = a
