Trigonometry: Basic Concepts

Trigonometry concepts are introduced including the definition of a triangle, types of triangles such as right, obtuse, and acute, and triangle classification based on side lengths and angle measures. Right triangle trigonometry is defined using trigonometric functions that relate angles and side ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are also introduced. Examples are provided to solve for missing sides and angles of triangles using trigonometric functions.

TRIGONOMETRY

BASIC CONCEPTS
TRIANGLE
DEFINITION
A triangle is a polygon
with 3 sides. The sum of
all of its angles is 180
degrees. The interior
angles of a triangle are
usually represented by
the variables A, B and C
and the sides opposite
them a, b and c.
Types of Triangles
• Right Triangle – has
one 90-degree angle

• Oblique Triangle – has


no 90-degree angle
Classification of
I. According to Triangles
the measure of the sides
1) Isosceles – has at least two sides that are equal
2) Scalene – has no equal side
3) Equilateral – has all sides equal

II. according to the measure of the angles


1) Acute – all three angles are less than 90 degrees
2) Obtuse – has one angle greater than 90 degrees
3) Equiangular – has all angles equal and measure
60 degrees
RIGHT TRIANGLE
TRIGONOMETRY
DEFINITION. A right triangle is a
triangle with one 90 degree angle and
two acute angles.
EXAMPLE. Solve the missing sides.

TRIGONOMETRIC
FUNCTIONS
A trigonometric function relates the angles of a
triangle to the ratio of the lengths of its sides. They
have a wide
range of uses including computing unknown lengths
and angles in a triangle.
EXAMPLE. Solve the missing sides and
angles.

TAKE NOTE!
EXAMPLES
1) For a triangle ABC, C = 102°, B = 29°, and b = 28 feet.
Find the remaining angle and sides.

2) Solve the triangle ABC in which b = 105cm, c = 76cm


and A = 29◦.

3) Solve the triangle ABC given C = 40◦, b = 23cm and c


= 19cm

4) Find the three angles given a = 8ft, b = 19 ft, c = 14t.


EXAMPLES
5) Find the area of a triangular lot having two sides of
lengths 90 meters and 52 meters and an included
angle of 102 degrees.
