Good morning class Good morning Sir
Roela will you lead us in prayer Roela will lead the prayer
Thank you, Roela. You may now take your seat. The learners will sit down
Chezca, will you kindly check who's present and who's
absent for today.
Review
Before we proceed to our new lesson, lets have a quick It's all about on how to convert Radians to degree.
review. What was our previous lesson?
In converting the angle measure from degree to
Thats right. So how do we convert angle measure from radians we use the Π/180 and radians to degree we
degree to radians and radians to degree? use the 180/Π.
Motivation
Now that you know how to convert degree to radians
and radians to degree, let’s have a simple game.
(Showing a hunt-a-word puzzle).
In one minute I want you to find the six words below. The learners will look for the words
Have you found them all? Yes Sir
I want the group of Luis to show us the word below.
Can you stand up and box the words? The group of Luis will box the words
Thank you. You may now take your seat.
Lesson Proper
Have you already encountered these words? Not yet Sir.
Today we will be discussing the six trigonometric
functions.
(Showing the cut out of a triangle)
We have a right triangle ABC with the right angle at C
and the two legs a and b. The opposite of C which is c The learners will listen
is the hypotenuse. With respect to the acute angle ,
side a is the side opposite to , the b would be the side
adjacent to .
(Showing the six trigonometric functions)
There are six main trigonometric functions:
Sine (sin)
Cosine (cos)
Tangent (tan)
Secant (sec)
Cosecant (csc)
Cotangent (cot)
These are six trigonometric functions of an acute The six trigonometric functions are defined as ratios of
angle. Before we find the trigonometric functions of sides in a right triangle. Their values depend only on the
our triangle, let us read first the definition of it. angle and not on any particular right triangle. A good
way to remember the definitions of sine, cosine, and
tangent is with the memory device soh cah toa.
What is meant by soh cah toa? SOHCAHTOA. A way of remembering how to
compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH
stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH
stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse.
TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.
Correct.
Here is an illustration of the soh cah toa:
Let us first find the sin . What is the side opposite to
the angle and the hypotenuse? The side a is the side opposite to the angle and
the side c is the hypotenuse.
To label it, we will write a/c.
That is how we find the sin .
Now to find cos , we need to find the side adjacent
and the hypotenuse of the triangle. So how we will Cos = b/c
label the cos ?
Very good. In tan we need the side opposite and the
side adjacent. How we will label it? Tan = a/b
For the remaining three functions, these three are the
opposite of the first functions. The cot is opposite to
the function of tangent where the cot is side adjacent
over side opposite. Who can write the label of the
cot , on the board? The learners will raise his/her hand
Cot = b/a
In sec and csc , their opposites are the cos and sin
. So our sec = c/b and the csc = c/a. Thats how
we find the six trigonometric functions. We will only
follow the definition of these trigonometric functions.
Do you have any question? None Sir.
Application
(Showing an illustrated example)
√3 2
Let's have another example. Find the six functions of The learners will raise his/her hand
the triangle. Who would like to find the first three
functions? Sine = √3/2
Cosine = 1/2
Tangent = √3/1
Very good. How about the last three functions? The learners will raise his/her hand
Cosecant = 2/√3
Secant = 2/1
Cotangent = 2/√3
