HSG.SRT.C.6: Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

What you'll learn

  1. Explain how similarity of right triangles leads to consistent side ratios for a given acute angle
  2. Define sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for acute angles in right triangles
  3. Calculate trigonometric ratios given the sides of a right triangle
  4. Understand that trigonometric ratios depend only on the angle, not on the size of the triangle
  5. Use the definitions to find side lengths or angle measures in right triangles
  6. Recognize the relationship between trigonometric ratios and the concept of similarity
