THE SIX TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS
ACTIVITY 1. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Answer:
21 29
sin M = sec M =
29 20
29 21
csc M = tan M =
21 20
20 20
cos M = cot M =
29 21
Solution:
Since 202 + 212= 292 (using Pythagorean theorem)
So, the triangle is right triangle.
ACTIVITY 2. SHOW ME:
A. Use your calculator to find the value of the following, correct to two decimal places.
Ex. sin 420 = 0.67
1. cos 750 = 0.09
2. sin 120 = 0.12
3. tan 550 = 0.07
4. cos 250= 0.42
5. tan 630 = 0.42

B. Find the size of the angle θ (to the nearest degree) where θ is acute.
Example. cos θ = 0.819 θ = 35 0
6. sin θ = 0.529 =θ 32 °
7. cos θ = 0.493= θ 60 °
8. tan θ = 1.8 =θ 61 °
9. sin θ = 0.256= θ 15 °
10. tan θ = 2.3 = θ 36 °
ACTIVITY 3. SOLVE ME.
Sketch a figure and solve each right triangle ABC with a right angle at C, given that:
1. A = 15° and c = 37 3. A = 15 and c = 25

REFLECTION:
3 things I found out:
1. The six trigonometric ratios.
2. In a right triangle ABC, the side opposite the right-angle C is the hypotenuse.
The
side opposite the two acute angles are the legs.
3. How to solve the missing Parts of a Right Triangle.
2 interesting things I learned
1. using the Calculator to Find Trigonometric Ratios.
2. Finding trigonometric ratios of the given acute angles with the use of a
calculator.
1 thing that confused me
1. Finding the angle given the ratio.
