Trigonometry in Geometry

Measuring with Triangles

Trigonometry studies the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles, especially right triangles.

Key Ratios

  • Sine (\(\sin\)): Opposite side / Hypotenuse
  • Cosine (\(\cos\)): Adjacent side / Hypotenuse
  • Tangent (\(\tan\)): Opposite side / Adjacent side

These ratios help us find missing sides or angles.

Real-Life Applications

Trigonometry is essential in navigation, astronomy, engineering, and even sports!

Examples

  • Finding the height of a tree by measuring the shadow and angle of the sun.

  • Calculating the distance across a river without crossing it.

In a Nutshell

Trigonometry uses special ratios to solve triangles and measure distances or heights.
