7.5, 7.6 Trigonometric Ra3os Assignment: Handout for 7.5 and 7.6
Finding Trig Ra3os A trigonometric ra3o is a ra3o of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle. Abbrevia3ons: Sine – sin, cosine – cos, tangent – tan.

You stand 45 feet from the base of the tree. You measure the angle of eleva3on from a point on the ground to the top of the top of the tree to be 59°. tan 59 ° = opposite adjacent tan 59 ° = h 45 45 tan 59° = h 74.89 ≈ h
