Trigonometric Ratios: ALWAYS REMEMBER SOH, CAH, TOA
There are three main trigonometric ratios of sides of a right angle triangle.[br][br]The ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent
Tangent Ratio is defined as
[math]Tangent=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/math]
Sine Ratio is defined as
[math]sine=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/math]
Cosine Ratio is defined as
[math]Cosine=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/math]
Question 1
What trigonometric ratio can you use for the triangle above
Question 2
Why does changing the angle value change the length of the hypotenuse and opposite side?
Explore what happens as you change the value of your angle
Question 3
What happens when the angle gets closer to 0 and 90 degrees?
