 Have you ever wondered how towers and buildings were constructed?
 How do you determine the distance travelled as well as the height of an
airplane as it takes off?
 What about determining the height of the mountain?

We can do all these if we are not in the real place or situation. These are just

Activity 2: KNOW MY HISTORY!

HISTORY
The first known table of chords was produced by the Greek mathematician
Hipparchus in about 140 BC. Although these tables have not survived, it is
claimed that twelve books of tables of chords were written by Hipparchus. This
makes Hipparchus the founder of trigonometry. Basically, trigonometry is
advanced geometry in other words. Trigonometry spreads its applications into
various fields such as architects, surveyors, astronauts, physicists, engineers and
even crime scene investigators.16 Oct 2017. Trigonometry helps the doctors to
study and understand waves like radiation waves, x-ray waves, ultraviolet waves
and water waves as well.

THE GREEKS

The Greeks developed a form of trigonometry based on chords in a circle.

Hipparchus of Nicaea (c. 180-125 BC), sometimes called `the father of
Trigonometry’, came from near present day Istanbul. He was an astronomer and
he was able to calculate the duration of the year to within 6 minutes. To assist
with his astronomical calculations, he developed an early form of trigonometry
and drew up tables of chords. This table was later extended, and used, by Ptolemy
(c.90−160 AD).

Hipparchus divided the circumference of a circle into 360° (as the Babylonians
had done) and the diameter into 120 parts.

Then for a given arc AB subtending an angle at the centre, he gives the length of
the corresponding chord crd( ), as shown in the diagrams below.

BABYLONIANS

The Plimpton 322 tablet, believed to have been written about 1800BC, contains a
table of numbers in base 60 that are believed by some to be an early record of
tangent ratios. This remains controversial.

The word trigonometry signifies the measurement of triangles and is concerned

with the study of the relationships between the sides and angles in a triangle. We
initially restrict our attention to right-angled triangles.

Trigonometry was originally developed to solve problems related to astronomy, but

soon found applications to navigation and a wide range of other areas. It is of
great practical importance to builders, architects, surveyors and engineers and
has many other applications.

Suppose we lean a ladder against a vertical wall. By moving the ladder closer to
the wall, thereby increasing the angle between the ladder and the ground, we
increase the distance up the wall that the ladder can reach. Since the length of
the ladder remains the same, Pythagoras’ theorem relates the distance up the wall
to the distance of the ladder from the base of the wall. Trigonometry allows us to
relate that same distance to the angle between the ladder and the ground.

To measure the height of a flagpole, an observer can measure a distance out from
the base and the angle made between the top of the pole and observer’s eye as
shown in the diagram.

Have you ever wonder how towers and buildings were constructed? Ow do you
determine the distance travelled as well as the height of an airplane as it takes
off? What about determining the height of the mountain? We can do all these
even if we are not in the real place or situation. These are just some of many real-
world applications of triangle trigonometry.

Reflect:

1. Have you appreciated the beauty of trigonometry and itssignificanceto

humanity? Mention some significance.

To appreciate more its beauty and its significance, you must know how to
illustrate the six trigonometric ratios so that you can accurately apply that skill in
solving the trigonometric problems in the real-life setting. So, study the key
concepts below.

What Is It

To measure the height of a flagpole, an observer can measure a distance out from
the base and the angle made between the top of the pole and observer’s eye as
shown inthe diagram.

Consider the right triangle ΔABC, with ∠A as its right angle, and with sides
𝐴𝐵̅, 𝐴𝐶, and 𝐵𝐶 , as shown in the figure below. Let’s say,
∠C is an acute angle (the marked angle), represented by
θ (theta). Then, we can say that side 𝐴𝐵 is the opposite
side to θ, side 𝐴𝐶as its adjacent side, and side 𝐵𝐶 as its
hypotenuse.

6
 In any right triangle, we can define six trigonometric ratios. These ratios are
the ratios of the sides of a right triangle. These are as follows:

Trigonometric Abbreviation Definition

ratio
sine θ sin θ 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
cosine θ cos θ 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
tangent θ tan θ 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
cosecant θ csc θ ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒
secant θ sec θ ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
cotangent θ cot θ 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡
𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒

The mnemonic SOHCAHTOA can be used to remember how to compute

trigonometric ratios.

SOH stands for Sine-Opposite-Hypotenuse which denotes the sine definition as

sin θ = opposite/ hypotenuse.

CAH stands for Cosine-Adjacent-Hypotenuse which denotes the cosine definition

as cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse.

TOA stands for Tangent-Opposite-Adjacent which denotes the tangent definition

as tangent θ =opposite adjacent.

At the case of csc θ, sec θ, and cot θ, notice that these ratios are just the
reciprocals of the trigonometric ratios sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ, respectively.

7
 Let us try the following examples applying the concept of trigonometric ratios.

Example 1

Example 2. Given the right triangle ΔDEF, with ∠E as its right angle, find the
values of the six trigonometric ratios of the acute angles D and F

Solution. The hypotenuse of ΔDEF is 𝑫𝑭 and has a length of 17. For the acute
angle D, 𝑬𝑭 is the opposite side and 𝑫𝑬is the adjacent side.

Imagine a world without Trigonometric ratios — the construction

of buildings, the making of the bridge and other infrastructural
creative from the Engineers of how they make it really good and
lasting.

Additional Activity

REFLECTION: (Journal Writing)

To exist, a triangle must have three segments connected to each other. Removal
of one side omits its essence as a triangle. The same goes for Vera Nazarian’s
saying ―Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:
Acceptance, Understanding, and Appreciation. Remove any one of the three
and the triangle falls apart…‖ As a student, what three characteristics do you
possess that definitely and uniquely define you as a person? Explain.
