Exploring Trigonometric Ratios in Geometry

The video tutorial introduces trigonometric ratios, focusing on sine, cosine, and tangent. It explains how these ratios relate the sides of a right triangle to its angles. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate these ratios and apply them to find missing sides in triangles. It also covers the concept of angle of elevation with practical examples. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

What does a trigonometry ratio compare in a right triangle?

• The length of the sides to the angles of the triangle

• The length of one side to the length of another side

• The area of the triangle to the perimeter of the triangle

• The length of the sides to the square of the hypotenuse
