IntroductionIn the real world, if you needed to verify the size of a television, you could get some measuring tools and hold them up to the television to determine that the TV was advertised at the correct size. Imagine, however, that you are a fact checker for The Guinness Book of World Records. It is your job to verify that the tallest building in the world is in fact Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai. Could you use measuring tools to determine the size of a building so large? It would be extremely difficult and impractical to do so.

Introduction, continuedYou can use measuring tools for direct measurements of distance, but you can use trigonometry to find indirect measurements. First, though, you must be able to calculate the three basic trigonometric functions that will be applied to finding those larger distances. Specifically, we are going study and practice calculating the sine, cosine, and tangent functions of right triangles as preparation for measuring indirect distances.

Key Concepts• The three basic trigonometric ratios are ratios of the
side lengths of a right triangle with respect to one of its acute angles.
• As you learned previously:
• Given the angle
• Given the angle
• Given the angle

Key Concepts, continued• Notice that the trigonometric ratios contain three
unknowns: the angle measure and two side lengths. • Given an acute angle of a right triangle and the
measure of one of its side lengths, use sine, cosine, or tangent to find another side.
• Use the inverses of these trigonometric functions (sin–1, cos–1, and tan–1) to find the acute angle measures given two sides of the right triangle.

Common Errors/Misconceptions• not using the given angle as the guide in determining
which side is opposite or adjacent • forgetting to ensure the calculator is in degree mode
before completing the operations • using the trigonometric function instead of the inverse
trigonometric function when calculating the acute angle measure

Guided PracticeExample 2A trucker drives 1,027 feet up a hill that has a constant slope. When the trucker reaches the top of the hill, he has traveled a horizontal distance of 990 feet. At what angle did the trucker drive to reach the top? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Guided Practice: Example 2, continued1. Determine which trigonometric function
to use by identifying the given information. Given an angle of w°, the horizontal distance, 990 feet, is adjacent to the angle.
The distance traveled by the trucker is the hypotenuse since it is opposite the right angle of the triangle.

Guided Practice: Example 2, continued
Cosine is the trigonometric function that uses
adjacent and hypotenuse,
so we will use it to calculate the angle the truck drove to reach the bottom of the road. 9

Solving the right triangle means to find all the missing angle measures and all the missing side lengths. The given angle is 64.5° and 17 is the length of the adjacent side. With this information, we could either use cosine or tangent since both functions’ ratios include the adjacent side of a right triangle. Start by using the tangent function to find .
