Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use
this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning at home. Furthermore, you are
expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included
in the module.

Let Us Learn
Trigonometry is a tool used for measuring distance that cannot be directly
measured for example, the height of a tree, a bird’s altitude when it is in flight, a
lake’s width, and a ship’s distance from the shore, among others it also involves the
study of angles and geometric ratios. Its applications are not limited to finding areas
and distances on earth. The word trigonometry is derived from the Greek word trigon
and metron which mean triangle measurement.

Let Us Study
In a right triangle, we can define the six trigonometric ratios. Consider the right
triangle ABC below. Let us focus on angle B as our reference. The leg denoted by a
is the side adjacent to B, the leg denoted by b is the side opposite to B, and the leg
denoted by c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
A
We will use the usual way that
ANGLES are symbolized by capital
c
letters, while the SIDE OPPOSITE
b -
EACH ANGLE will carry the same
letter symbol in lowercase.
C B
a
Using the lengths of these sides denoted by a, b and c, the SIX TRIGONOMETRIC
RATIOS of the acute angle B are:
opposite b hypotenuse c
sine ratio: sin B = = cosecant ratio: csc B = =
hypotenuse c opposite b
adjacent a hypotenuse c
cosine ratio: cos B = = secant ratio: sec B = =
hypotenuse c adjacent a
opposite b adjacent a
tangent ratio: tan B = = cotangent ratio: cot B = =
adjacent a opposite b
6
The sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are the primary ratios. While the ratios
cosecant, secant and cotangent are the reciprocal ratios.
For you to easily remember the trigonometric ratios, know the mnemonic device for
remembering the definition of the primary trigonometric ratios.

3 Since the hypotenuse (s) is missing, we need to
solve for it using the Pythagorean Theorem.
c2 = a2 + b2 pythagorean theorem
s2 = 42 + 32 substitution
s = √4/ + 3/
= √16 + 9
= √25

Now that the lengths of the sides are complete, we can now determine the values of
the trigonometric ratios of angle 𝜃 .
From the definition of the trigonometric ratios:

Using the trigonometric ratios, we can solve for any missing part of a right triangle.
Solving a right triangle means solving for the missing measure of an angle or a
side. A right triangle has 6 parts: 3 sides and 3 angles. The missing part/s may be
solved when the right triangle falls into any of the following cases:
A. the length of the hypotenuse and the length of one leg are given
B. the length of the hypotenuse and one of the acute angles are given
C. the length of one leg and one of the acute angles are given
D. the length of both sides is given.
A. Solving a right triangle where the hypotenuse and one leg are given.

STEP 2: Solve for ∠B
In STEP 1, it was already found that m∠A = 42. 34o and we also know that m∠C =
90o, we can now solve for the third angle ∠B . In a triangle, the three angles
should sum up to 180o. Thus, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o. To solve for ∠B:
