Nội dung tóm tắt
The third chapter of this text delves into the geometry of right triangles and the associated formulas for trigonometric functions, including sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tangent). These formulas are applied to various problems related to right triangles, such as finding h, t, A, and θ. The document also introduces a computer program for solving problems involving right triangles using these trigonometric functions. In detail, the chapter starts by defining a right triangle as one with each angle measuring 90 degrees, and presents the formulas for sin, cos, and tangent (sincos) in this context. The chapter further expands upon these formulas, providing step-by-step methods to solve various right triangle problems, such as finding missing sides or angles given certain known values. Additionally, the chapter provides worked examples to illustrate the application of the trigonometric formulas and computer program.
