6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

Trig Functions• The six trig functions of any

angle 0° < Ɵ < 90° are defined as follows:

6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

Triangle Trig• We use right triangles

because they allow us to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which makes solving a much easier process!

• Because 30°, 45° and 60° occur frequently, we will learn and memorize those triangles!!

• If c = 2, determine the lengths of a and b and find the six trig values at 30° and 60°.

6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

More Trig Triangles• If a = 1, determine the

length of c and find the six trig values.

Cofunctions of Complementary Angles

• If Ɵ is any acute trig angle, a trig function value of Ɵ is equal to the cofunction of the complement of Ɵ, as follows:

sin cos cot tan2 2

cos sin sec csc2 2

tan cot csc sec2 2

6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

Example:• Show that

are cofunctions. • Let Ɵ be an acute angle

such that sin Ɵ = ¾. Find all the trig functions of Ɵ.

• One angle of a right triangle measures 42°, and the hypotenuse has length of 10. Find the measures of the remaining sides.

sin cos2

6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

Example:• They hypotenuse and one

leg of a triangle measure 8 and 5 respectively. Find the measure of angle Ɵ formed by these two sides.

Trig Functions of Any Angle• Let Ɵ be an angle in

standard position, P(x, y) a point other than the origin on the terminal side of P, and r = The six trig values of Ɵ are defined as follows:sin cos tan

6.5 Trig Functions of an Acute Angle

Example:• Find the values of the six

trig functions at an angle Ɵ in standard form with point P(2, 4) on its terminal side.

• **Note** If an angle does not appear acute in the first quadrant, you can work in any of the four quadrants to make the angle acute!!

• Find the values of all six trig functions and the angle of measure of angle Ɵ, where P(-3, 2) is a point on the terminal side of Ɵ.

• Find all the values of all six trig functions for the quadrantal angles of:
