Geometry Module 13.

1: Tangent Ratio

In each right triangle, find the tangent of each angle that is not the right angle.

tanR= 0.16
tanB = 0.75 tanB = 2.34
tanF=1.8 tanP= 6.33
tanA = 1.33 tanD=0.55 tanA = 0.43

Let △ABC be a right triangle, with m∠C = 90°. Given the tangent of one of the complementary angles of the
triangle, find the tangent of the other angle.

6. tan∠A = 1.25 7. tan∠B = 0.50 8. tan∠B = 1.0

0.8 2 1

Use the tangent to find the unknown side length.

9. Find QR. 10. Find AC. 11. Find PQ.

tan27 = AC/8 tan85=9/PQ

AC = 4.08 PQ = 0.787
QR = 4.04 units

ED=33.87

Find the measure of the angle specified for each triangle. Use the inverse tangent (tan-1) function of your
calculator. Round your answer to the nearest degree.

R = tan-1(0.375)=20.56*
A = tan-1(2.27) =
66.23*

Write an equation using either tan or tan-1 to express the measure of the angle or side. Then solve the
equation.

38/PQ=tan75

PQ=10.18 units
BC/10=tan40
A=tan-1(14.5/14.5) =45*
BC=8.39 units
C = tan-1(14.5/14.5)=45*
 Geometry Module 13.2: Sine & Cosine Ratios

Write each trigonometric expression. Round trigonometric ratios to the nearest thousandth.

1. Given that sin 60° ≈ 0.866, write the cosine of a complementary angle.

sin60=cos30
cos30=0.866

2. Given that cos 26° ≈ 0.899, write the sine of a complementary angle.
cos26=sin64
sin64=0.899

Write each trigonometric ratio as a fraction and as a decimal, rounded (if necessary) to the nearest thousandth.

3. sin A 12/13=0.923

4. cos A 5/13=0.385

5. cos B 12/13=0.923

6. sin D 7/25=0.28

7. cos F 7/25=0.28

8. sin F 24/25=0.96

Find the unknown length x in each right triangle, to the nearest tenth.

sin37=x/15
