Trigonometric Ratios in Right Triangles

This document provides information about trigonometric ratios and examples of calculating trigonometric ratios in right triangles. It defines the six trigonometric ratios - sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent - and provides their formulas in terms of the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle. It then works through two examples, calculating the trigonometric ratios of given angles using the information provided about the sides of right triangles. The document concludes by providing an activity for students to find the six trigonometric ratios of a given angle in another right triangle.

For any right triangle,there are six trigonometric ratios . Three common ratios are the sine (sin) ,
cosine (cos),and tangent (tan) ,cosecant (csc), secant (sec),and cotangent (cot) .Below are the formula :

opposite adjacent opposite


sin  cos  tan 
hypotenuse hypotenuse adjacent

1 hypotenuse 1 hypotenuse 1 adjacent


csc   sec   cot  
sin opposite cos adjacent tan opposite
Examples 1: Example 2 :

In the right triangle PQR shown below, find the In triangle ABC, right angled at B, 15sin A = 12.
six trigonometric ratios of the angle θ.
Find the other five trigonometric ratios of the

angle A.

Solution : In the above right angled triangle, note


that for the given angle θ, PQ is the ‘opposite’ opposite
sin( A)  12
side and PR is the ‘adjacent’ side.
15sin A = 12, then  hypotenuse =  15

Then,  If

 By Pythagorean theorem, 


opposite PQ 5
sin θ  =  hypotenuse   =    QR   =  13 AC2  =  AB2 + BC2

adjacent PR 12 152  =  AB2 + 122

cos θ  =  hypotenuse  =  QR   =  13


225  =  AB2 + 144

opposite PQ 5 Subtract 144 from each side. 


θ  =  adjacent   =  PR   =  12
tan  81  =  AB2
