2.1 The Tangent Ratio
The study of trigonometry dates back to at least 1600 B.C. Since early times, astronomers, engineers and navigators have used the angles and sides of triangles to solve problems. In this unit, we will apply the basic concepts and skills of trigonometry to solve problems involving right triangles.

[pic]-
In ∆ABC shown below, [pic]C = 90º. In relation to [pic]A, the sides of ∆ABC are described as follows:
• Side c is the hypotenuse of ∆ABC since
it is the longest side and opposite the right angle
• Side a is the opposite side to [pic]A since it is directly across from it
• Side b is the adjacent side to [pic]A since it is next to [pic]A but is not the hypotenuse.
