Unit 13 Vocabulary Flashcards
If two angles in a triangle are congruent,…
Then the two sides that are across from those angles are congruent (and vice versa)
The shortest side in a triangle is always across from…
The most acute angle
45-45-90 triangle pattern
Hypotenuse- m root 2
Other sides - m
30-60-90 triangle
Hypotenuse- 2 times m
30 degree side- m
60 degree side- m root 3
Ratios for Sin, Cos, and Tan
Sin = opposite / hypotenuse Cos= adjacent / hypotenuse Tan= opposite / adjacent

How to know if the answer should be negative or not when dealing with sin, cos, and tan in the quadrants
All(all answers should be positive)
Students(only sin is positive.. and so on)
Take
Calculus
(Going around the quadrants in counterclockwise order)
What says the angle of elevation is equal to the angle of depression
The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
Fixed ray
The initial side of an angle
Rotating ray
Terminal side of an angle
Standard Position
An angle with its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x axis
When is a terminal ray positive
When you move it counterclockwise to form an angle
When is a terminal ray negative
When you move it clockwise to form an angle
Coterminal Angles
If two angles are in standard position and their terminal sides coincide.
How do you find a coterminal angle?
By either adding or subtracting 2 pie (radians) or 360 degrees (degrees).
1 Radian
