The Six Trigonometric Ratios

There are six functions that are the core of trigonometry.

There are three primary ones that you need to understand completely:
 Sine (sin)
 Cosine (cos)
 Tangent (tan)
The other three are not used as often and can be derived from the three primary
functions. Because they can easily be derived, calculators and spreadsheets do
not usually have them.
 Secant (sec)
 Cosecant (csc)
 Cotangent (cot)
All six functions have three-letter abbreviations (shown in parentheses above).

hypotenuse
c
opposite b

aa 𝜃
C B
adjacent

Consider the right triangle above.

 a is the length of the side adjacent to theta (𝜃) or angle B.
 b is the length of the side opposite theta (𝜃) or angle B.
 c is the length of the hypotenuse.
 𝜃 represents the measure of angle B in either degrees or radians.

For each angles, B or A, there are six functions. Each function is the ratio of two
sides of the triangle. The only difference between the six functions is which pair
of sides we use.

 We will use the convention that angles are symbolized by capital letters, while

e.g. the side opposite ∠A is a

The primary functions:
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
Sine sin x =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
Cosine cos x =
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
Tangent tan x =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡

In the following table, note how each function is the reciprocal of one of the basic functions
sin, cos, tan.
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒 1
Cosecant csc x = csc x =

Secant sec x = sec x =
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 cos 𝑥
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 1
Cotangent cot x = cot x =
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 tan 𝑥

SOH-CAH-TOA → is a mnemonic used for remembering the equations.

→ these 9 letters are a memory aid to remember the ratios for the three
primary functions - sin, cos and tan.
→ pronounced a bit like "soka towa".
→ their ratios are constant because the functions are a ratio of two side
lengths so they always produce the same result for a given angle, regardless of the size of
the triangle.

p = 9.583626121
s = 7.221780278

c. Since m∠P + m∠T + m∠S = 180° ( angle sum in a triangle)

53° + 90° + m∠S = 180°
m∠S = 180° - 143°
m∠S = 37°

Example: Solve for a and c in figure 2.

a.) Solve for a and c in figure 2.

acute angle. Use SOH, that is

c c sin 67°
c = 11.51542

C. Solving a Right Triangle Given the Length of the Hypotenuse and a leg.

Example:
Triangle BCA is right-angled at C. If c = 23 and b = 17, find ∠A, ∠B and a. Express your
answers up to two decimal places.
Solutions:

b = 17
cos A = 0.7391

We can use our scientific calculator to find an angle whose cosine value is 0.7391. Using a
scientific calculator, A = 42.340°

c. Since in part (a), it was already found that 𝑚∠A = 42.34°,

then 𝑚∠B = 90°- 𝑚∠A
𝑚∠B = 90°- 42.34°
𝑚∠B = 47.66°
d. Using the Pythagorean Theorem:
𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐2
𝑎2 + (17)2 = (23)2
𝑎2 + 289 = 529
𝑎2 = 529 − 289
𝑎2 = 240

√𝑎2 = √240
a = 15.49

D. Solving a Right Triangle Given the Length of the Two

Legs Example:
Triangle ACB is right-angled at C. If a = 18.5 cm and b = 14.2 cm, find c, ∠𝐴, and ∠𝐵.
Solutions:
A
a. To find c, use Pythagorean
Theorem:
𝑐2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏2

𝑐 = (18.5) + (14.2)

c = √543.89

c = 23.32

b. To find ∠𝐴, since a and b are opposite c. Based on the fact that ∠A and ∠B are
and adjacent side of ∠A respectively, complementary, the measure of angle ∠B is
then use TOA. 90° − 52° = 38°

 ’s More

Using the Calculator to Find Trigonometric Ratios

The values of the trigonometric ratios for any particular angle are
constant, regardless of the length of the sides. These values can also be found
using a calculator. Also, you can use a calculator to find an angle when you are
given a trigonometric ratio.

a. Finding a ratio given the angle

Example: To find the value of 38⁰, ensure that your calculator is

operating in degrees.

Solution:

Press sin 38 = 0.615661475

The calculator should give sin 38⁰ = 0.616, correct three decimal places.

b. Finding an angle given the ratio

In finding the size of the angle to the nearest minute, given the value of the
trigonometric ratio, just follow the steps in the examples below.

Example: sin 𝜃 = 0.725, find 𝜃 to the nearest minute

Solution:
2ndF sin =
Press 0.725 46.46884783

To convert this to degrees/minutes/seconds mode

Press
2ndF D°𝐌′𝐒

The calculator gives you 46° 28’(nearest minute)

c. Degrees and minutes

So far, all angles have been in whole degrees. However, one degree
can be divided equally into 60 minutes. Furthermore, one minute can be divided

12
equally into 60 seconds. Angle measurement can also be expressed in degree/
minute form. We can use a calculator to convert a degree measure from decimal
form to degree, minute and second form.

Example: Write 54.46⁰ in degree and minutes, giving an answer correct to the
nearest minute.

Solution:
Press 54.46° 2ndF D°𝐌′𝐒

The calculator gives 54⁰ 27’36”, or 54⁰ 28’ (nearest minute)

Try this:
1. Use your calculator to find the value of the following, correct to two
decimal places.
a. cos 85⁰ c. tan 35⁰
b. sin 7⁰ d. cos 65⁰

2. Using the degrees/minutes/seconds button on your calculator, write each of the

following in degrees and minutes, give answers to the nearest minute.
a.17.8⁰ c. 63.7⁰
b. 48.52⁰ d. 108.33⁰

3. Find the size of the angle 𝜃 (to the nearest degree) where 𝜃 is acute.
a. sin 𝜃= 0.529 c. tan 𝜃 = 1.8
b. cos 𝜃 = 0.493
