Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between the sides and the angles of a

triangle.

In this lesson you will discover some of these relationships for right triangles.

All these triangles are similar by SAS or AA.

Notice that the ratio of the shorter leg’s length to the longer leg’s length is 3/5. The angle opposite the shorter leg is 31o.

The three right triangles are similar to each other by AA

Sine (sin) is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the hypotenuse.◦ Sin (A) =opposite/hypotenuse◦ S=O/H

Cosine (cos) is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to the length of the hypotenuse.◦ Cos (A)=adjacent/hypotenuse◦ C=A/H

Tangent (tan) is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg.◦ Tan (A)=opposite/adjacent◦ T=O/A
