rigonometric Ratios

diagram shows 5 similar right angled triangles, with angles

˚, 30˚ and 60˚.

opposite side of the angle 30˚ is a, adjacent (next to it) is

nd the hypotenuse is c.

k at the relationship between the sides. Can you identify any

terns?

n summery we use these facts about trig ratios to find missing sides and angles of right
ngles triangles

When we are faced with a trigonometry problem in a right-angled triangle, you

need to remember…

This is the TANGENT

This is the SINE triangle triangle

These triangles allow us This is the COSINE triangle

to easily remember each
formula.
