Learn Trigonometry The word trigonometry comes from the Greek terms trigon , meaning triangle, and metron , meaning measure. So the study of trigonometry involves triangle measurement. A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle. The names of the three most common trigonometric ratios are given on the next few slides.
Learn Trigonometry Key Concept: Trigonometric Ratios Sine: If is a right triangle, then the sine of each acute angle in is the ratio of the length of the leg opposite that angle to the length of the hypotenuse. or or Key Concept: Trigonometric Ratios
Learn Trigonometry Cosine: If is a right triangle, then the cosine of each acute angle in is the ratio of the length of the leg adjacent to that angle to the length of the hypotenuse. or or
Learn Trigonometry Tangent : If is a right triangle, then the tangent of each acute angle in is the ratio of the length of the leg opposite that angle to the length of the leg adjacent to that angle. or or
