Trigonometric Ratios

Comparing the length of two sides related to angle

 $\theta$  

Example 1

•  $\tan\ A=\frac{3}{4}$  

•  $\tan\ B=\frac{4}{3}$  

•  $\sin A=\frac{3}{5}$  

•  $\cos A=\frac{4}{5}$  

•  $\cos B=\frac{3}{5}$  

Example 2

• Given

   $\tan A=\frac{8}{5}$  , what is the length of AC?

•  $\tan A=\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{8}{5}$  

•  $\frac{16}{AC}=\frac{8}{5}$  

•  $AC=\frac{16\times5}{8}=10\ cm$  

Example 3

• Calculate the value of h to three decimal places.

•  $\tan35\degree=\frac{h}{6}$  

•  $h=6\times\tan35\degree$  

•  $h\approx4.201$
