9.1 Values of Sine, Cosine and Tangent of an Angle

(A) Sine, Cosine and Tangent for Right-Angled Triangles

\begin{array}{l} \sin θ = \frac{opposites side}{hypotenuse} \\ cos θ = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} \\ tan θ = \frac{opposites side}{adjacent side} \end{array}

In first quadrant, P is a point on the circumference of the unit circle with centre O, θ is the angle between the radius OP and the positive x-axis. From the diagram,

\begin{array}{l} (a) sin θ = \frac{P Q}{O P} = y \\ (b) cos θ = \frac{O Q}{O P} = x \\ (c) tan θ = \frac{P Q}{O Q} = \frac{y}{x} \\ T h e r e f o r e, \\ \begin{array}{l} sin θ = y -coordinate \\ cos θ = x -coordinate \\ tan θ = \frac{y -coordinate}{x -coordinate} \end{array} \end{array}

(C) A Cartesian plane is divided into four parts called quadrants by the x-axis and the y-axis. The quadrants are named as first quadrant, second quadrant, third quadrant and fourth quadrant in the anticlockwise direction.

Question 4:

In the diagram above, WZY is a straight line.

∠ X Y Z = 90^{o}, ∠ X W Z = 30^{o}

and WZ = XZ = 30 cm. Find the length of XY.

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} ∠ W X Z = ∠ X W Z = 30^{o} \\ ∴ ∠ X Z Y = 30^{o} + 30^{o} = 60^{o} \\ \sin ∠ X Z Y = \frac{X Y}{X Z} \\ \sin 60^{o} = \frac{X Y}{30} \\ X Y = \sin 60^{o} \times 30 \\ X Y = 25.98 c m \end{array}

Solution:

\begin{array}{l} 5 S R = 2 P S \\ P S = \frac{5}{2} S R \\ P S = \frac{5}{2} (6) \\ P S = 15 c m \\ \cos α = \frac{P Q}{P S} \\ \cos α = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5} \\ In △ P Q S, using Pythagoras' Theorem, \\ Q S = \sqrt{P S^{2} - P Q^{2}} \\ Q S = \sqrt{15^{2} - 12^{2}} = 9 c m \\ \tan β = - \tan ∠ P S Q \leftarrow \begin{array}{l} Since 90^{\circ} < β < 180^{\circ} \\ (in quadrant II), tan β is negative \end{array} \\ \tan β = - \frac{P Q}{Q S} \\ \tan β = - \frac{12}{9} = - \frac{4}{3} \end{array}

(A) Special Angle

(B) Finding the Angles between 0^oand 360^o Given Values of sin θ, cos θ or tan θ

1. If the value of sin θ, cos θ or tan θ is given and 0^o< θ < 360^o, the value of θ can be found using the following steps.

(a) Find the basic angle in first quadrant which corresponds to θ.

(b) Based on the sign of the value of sin θ, cos θ or tan θ, determine the quadrants in which θ lies.

(c) Find the values of θ in the right quadrants found in (b).

Example:

For each of the following cases, find the value of θ.

(a) sin θ = 0.6025 and 90^o< θ < 180^o

(b) cos θ = –0.6025 and 180^o< θ < 270^o

(c) sin θ = –0.8387 and 0^o< θ < 360^o

(d) tan θ = –1.732 and 0^o< θ < 360^o

Solution:

(a)

sin θ = 0.6025

Basic ∠ = 37.05^o ← (Press SHIFT sin^-1 0.6025 =Display: 37.04976)
∴ θ = 180^o – 37.05^o= 142.95^o ← (90^o< θ < 180^o)

(b)

cos θ = –0.6025

Basis ∠ = 52.95^o ← (Press SHIFT cos^-1 0.6025 = Display: 52.9508)

∴ θ = 180^o + 52.95^o= 232.95^o ← (180^o< θ < 270^o)

(c)

sin θ = –0.8387 ← (sin θ is negative in 3^rd quadrant and 4^thquadrant)

Basis ∠ = 57^o ← (Press SHIFT sin^-1 0.8387 = Display: 57.003)

θ₁ = 180^o + 57^o = 237^o ← (180^o< θ < 270^o)

θ₂ = 360^o – 57^o = 303^o ← (270^o< θ < 360^o)

∴ θ = 237^oand 303^o

(d)

tan θ = –1.732 ← (tan θ is negative in 2^nd quadrant and 4^thquadrant)

Basis ∠ = 60^o ← (Press SHIFT tan^-1 1.732 = Display: 59.9993)

θ₁ = 180^o – 60^o = 120^o ← (90^o< θ < 180^o)

θ₂ = 360^o – 60^o = 300^o ← (270^o< θ < 360^o)
∴ θ = 120^oand 300^o
