SINE AND COSINE AS COMPLEMENTS ~ adapted from Walch Education

Slide 3

Examine HEY! DOES THIS RELATIONSHIP WORK FOR sin B AND cos A?

Slide 4

In, sin A = cos B, and sin B = cos A This relationship between sine and cosine is known as an identity Using this triangle, show that this relationship works for every right triangle

Slide 5

WHAT ELSE?!? The two acute angles in a right triangle have a sum of 90. They are complementary angles. WWhat is the mathematical expression?

Slide 6

COFUNCTION IDENTITIES This looks like something I should remember

Slide 7

OHTHATS WHAT THAT MEANS The value of one ratio for one angle is the same as the value of the other ratio for the other angle. So we can use the sine of one acute angle to find the cosine of its complementary angle (AND VICE VERSA)

Slide 8

Lets try this example: Find

Slide 9

First step: Second step: Third step: Verify using a scientific calculator. GREAT JOB

Slide 10

See if you can figure this one out. Be ready to explain which identity you used and why: Find a value of for which sin = cos 15 is true.
