Trigonometric Ratios (SOHCAHTOA)

Sin Ratio (SOH)

$\sin=\frac{\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}}{\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}}$

Cos Ratio (CAH)

$\cos=\frac{\color{#00880a}{\text{adjacent}}}{\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}}$

Tan Ratio (TOA)

$\tan=\frac{\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}}{\color{#00880a}{\text{adjacent}}}$

Calculator Buttons to Use

$sin$

$=$ Sine function

$cos$

$=$ Cosine function

$tan$

$=$ Tangent function

DMS or $° ‘ ‘ ‘$

$=$ Degree/Minute/Second

$=$

$=$ Equal function

Notice that the scenario creates two right triangles. Focus on the smaller one and label it in reference to the given angle.

$\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}=\color{#004ec4}{h}$

$\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\color{#e85e00}{5.3}$

Since we now have the opposite and hypotenuse values, we can use the

$sin$ ratio to find

$h$ .

$sin47°$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}}{\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}}$

$sin47°$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#004ec4}{h}}{\color{#e85e00}{5.3}}$

$5.3xx$ $sin47°$	$=$	$h/5.3$ $xx5.3$	Multiply both sides by $5.3$

$5.3sin47°$	$=$	$h$
$h$	$=$	$5.3sin47°$

Simplify this further by evaluating

$5.3sin47°$ using the calculator:

$1.$ Press

$5.3$

$2.$ Press $times$

$3.$ Press $sin$

$4.$ Press

$47$

$5.$ Press $=$

The result will be

$3.87617$ or

$3.9 m$ when rounded off to

$1$ decimal place.

$3.9 m$

Notice that the scenario creates two right triangles. Let the missing angle be

$theta$ and label the sides of the larger triangle in reference to it.

$\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}=\color{#004ec4}{3.9}$

$\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\color{#e85e00}{7.4}$

Since we now have the opposite and hypotenuse values, we can use the

$sin$ ratio to find

$theta$ .

$sin theta$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#004ec4}{\text{opposite}}}{\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}}$

$sin theta$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#004ec4}{3.9}}{\color{#e85e00}{7.4}}$

$theta$	$=$	$sin^(-1) (3.9/7.4)$	Get the inverse of $sin$

Simplify this further by evaluating

$sin^(-1) (3.9/7.4)$ using the calculator:

$1.$ Press Shift or 2nd F (depending on your calculator)

$2.$ Press $sin$

$3.$ Press

$3.9$

$4.$ Press $divide$

$5.$ Press

$7.4$

$6.$ Press $=$

The result will be:

$31.8048°$

Finally, round off the answer to the nearest degree.

$theta$	$=$	$31.8048°$
	$=$	$31°48’$	Press DMS on your calculator
	$=$	$32°$	Round up since the minutes is more than $30’$

$32°$

Sine Rule

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{a}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{A}}=\frac{\color{#00880A}{b}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{B}}=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{c}}{\sin\color{#9a00c7}{C}}$

where:
$a$ is the side opposite angle $A$
$b$ is the side opposite angle $B$
$c$ is the side opposite angle $C$

When to use the Sine Rule

a) Given 2 sides and 1 angle to find the other angle

or

b) Given 2 angles 1 side to find the other side

Notice that the scenario creates an obtuse triangle. Let

$x$ be the distance of the two poles on the ground.

Identify the two other angles in the triangle.

First angle:

Remember that a straight line measures

$180°$ . Subtract

$47°$ from

$180°$ to find the measure of the larger angle.

$180-47$

$=$

$133°$

Second angle:

Remember that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is

$180°$ . Subtract

$32°$ and

$133°$ from

$180°$ to find the measure of the smaller angle.

$180-32-133$

$=$

$15°$

Since

$1$ side and

$2$ angles are now known, use the Sine Rule to find the missing side.

Side

$1=x$

Angle

$1=15°$

Side

$2=7.4 m$

Angle

$2=133°$

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{a}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{A}}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880A}{b}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{B}}$

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{x}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{15°}}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880A}{7.4}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{133°}}$	Substitute the values

$xtimessin133°$	$=$	$7.4timessin15°$	Cross multiply
$xtimessin133°$ $dividesin133°$	$=$	$7.4timessin15°$ $dividesin133°$	Divide both sides by $sin133°$

$x$	$=$	$(7.4timessin15°)/(sin133°)$

$x$	$=$	$1.9152609/0.7313537$	Use the calculator to simplify

$x$	$=$	$2.61879$
$x$	$=$	$2.6 m$	Rounded off to $1$ decimal place

$2.6 m$

Question 4 of 5

The triangle

$ABD$ has a right angle at

$B$ . If the length of side

$DA$ is

$83 m$ , find the length of

$CA$ .

Round your answer to

$2$ decimal places

$CA$ = (65.07) $m$

Sine Rule

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{a}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{A}}=\frac{\color{#00880A}{b}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{B}}=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{c}}{\sin\color{#9a00c7}{C}}$

where:
$a$ is the side opposite angle $A$
$b$ is the side opposite angle $B$
$c$ is the side opposite angle $C$

When to use the Sine Rule

a) Given 2 sides and 1 angle to find the other angle

or

b) Given 2 angles 1 side to find the other side

Notice that

$CA$ is the side opposite of angle

$D$ .

This means that we can use the Sine Rule to find the length of

$CA$ .

Start by finding the value of angle

$D$ . Do this by subtracting the sum of angles

$A$ and

$C$ from

$180°$ .

$D$	$=$	$180°-(8°+146°)$
$D$	$=$	$180°-154°$
$D$	$=$	$26°$

Next, label the triangle according to the Sine Rule.

Substitute the three known values to the Sine Rule to find the fourth missing value.

From labelling the triangle, we know that the known values are those with labels

$d, D, c$ and

$C$ .

$d=CA$

$D=26°$

$c=83 m$

$C=146°$

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{d}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{D}}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880A}{c}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{C}}$

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{CA}}{\sin\color{#007DDC}{26°}}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880A}{83}}{\sin\color{#00880A}{146°}}$	Substitute the values

$CAtimessin146°$	$=$	$83timessin26°$	Cross multiply
$CAtimessin146°$ $dividesin146°$	$=$	$83timessin26°$ $dividesin146°$	Divide both sides by $sin146°$

$CA$	$=$	$(83timessin26°)/(sin146°)$

$CA$	$=$	$(36.384805)/(0.5591929)$	Use the calculator to simplify

$CA$	$=$	$65.0666$
$CA$	$=$	$65.07 m$	Rounded off to $2$ decimal places

$65.07 m$

Question 5 of 5

$ABD$ has a right angle at

$B$ and a side

$DA$ that is

$83 m$ . The line

$65.07 m$ . Find the values of the following:

$(i)$ The value of

$theta$

$(ii)$ The length of

$CB$ rounded off to the nearest metre

$(i)$ $theta$ = (34) $°$

$(i)$ Find the value of

$theta$

Remember that a straight line measures

$180°$ . Subtract

$146°$ from

$180°$ to find the measurement of

$theta$ .

$theta$	$=$	$180°-146°$
$theta$	$=$	$34°$

$(ii)$ Find the length of

$CB$

Notice that

$CB$ is a side of the right triangle

$ABC$ and is adjacent to

$theta$ . The right triangle also has a hypotenuse

$AC$ with a length of

$65.07 m$ .

$\color{#00880a}{\text{adjacent}}=\color{#00880a}{CB}$

$\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\color{#e85e00}{65.07}$ (AC)

Since we now have the adjacent and hypotenuse values, we can use the

$cos$ ratio to find

$CB$ .

$cos34°$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880a}{\text{adjacent}}}{\color{#e85e00}{\text{hypotenuse}}}$

$cos34°$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#00880a}{CB}}{\color{#e85e00}{65.07}}$

$65.07xx$ $cos34°$	$=$	$(CB)/65.07$ $xx65.07$	Multiply both sides by $65.07$

$65.07cos34°$	$=$	$CB$
$CB$	$=$	$65.07cos34°$

Simplify this further by evaluating

$cos34°$ using the calculator:

$1.$ Press $cos$

$2.$ Press

$34$

$3.$ Press $=$

The result will be:

$0.8290376$

Continue solving for

$CB$ .

$cos34°=0.8290376$

$CB$	$=$	$65.07cos34°$
	$=$	$65.07times0.8290376$
	$=$	$53.9454749$
	$=$	$54 m$	Rounded off to the nearest metre

$(i) theta=34°$

$(ii) CB=54 m$
