I. LEARNING Objectives:
OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Identify and recall the six trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine,
tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent) for special angles (30°,
45°, 60°),
Value the logical process of determining trigonometric ratios and
understand its role in problem-solving and mathematical
reasoning, and
Construct a unit circle and use it to visually find the sine, cosine,
and tangent values for special angles (30°, 45°, 60°).

B. MOTIVATION ACTIVITY
"Angle Detective Challenge"
Directions: Identify and calculate the trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine
and tangent) of Special Angles (30° , 45 ° , 60 ° ¿.
Welcome, detectives! You’re about to take on a mystery-solving
challenge that will test your knowledge of angles and
trigonometric ratios. You’ll have 5 minutes to solve each case
and find the missing trigonometric ratios for some special angles.
Your goal is to solve the clues, identify the angle shown, and then
write down the correct sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for that
angle. Be quick and accurate – the clock is ticking!
The students should look at the angle shown in the triangle and
be ready to solve for the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios.
Card 1: Triangle with a 30° angle and instructions to find the sine,
cosine, and tangent ratios.
Card 2: Triangle with a 45° angle instructions to find the sine, cosine,
and tangent ratios.
Card 3: Triangle with a 60° angle and instructions to find the sine,
cosine, and tangent ratios.
Each group will identify the angle from the triangle on their card
and write down the correct sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for
that angle on sticky notes or small whiteboards.
Answer:
30° angle:
sin(30°) = 1/2
cos(30°) = √3/2
tan(30°) = √3/3
45° angle:
sin(45°) = √2/2
cos(45°) = √2/2
tan(45°) = 1
60° angle:
sin(60°) = √3/2
cos(60°) = 1/2
tan(60°) = √3
Congratulations, detectives! You've cracked the code for these special
angles. You've now unlocked the key to understanding these important
trigonometric ratios that you'll use throughout this lesson.
Now that you’ve solved the mystery, we’re ready to dive deeper into the
world of trigonometric ratios. Get ready for the next step in our journey!
ANALYSIS
Discussion Questions
How did identifying the angles in the triangles help you determine
the correct trigonometric ratios?
Did you feel confident solving the mystery, or were there
moments when you felt unsure?
How comfortable were you with using sticky notes or whiteboards
to write your answers? Was there any difficulty in expressing the
ratios clearly?

45° – 45° – 90° Right Triangle 30° – 60° – 90° Right Triangle
Theorem Theorem
In a 45° – 45° – 90° triangle, In a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle,
✔ the legs are congruent ✔ the length of the hypotenuse is
twice the length of the shorter leg
✔ the length of the hypotenuse is
√2 times the length of a leg ✔ the length of the longer leg is √3
times the length of the shorter leg
hypotenuse = √2 times the leg
hypotenuse = 2 times the shorter
leg
longer leg = √3 times the shorter
leg

APPLICATION
Find the length of the indicated side.
The given figure is a 45°- 45° - 90° triangle
y is the hypotenuse
leg = 5√2
Since hypotenuse =√2(leg)
then we have y =√2(5√2)
y = 5√4
y = 5 (2)
y = 10
The given figure is a 30°- 60° - 90° triangle
w is the shorter leg
z is the hypotenuse
longer leg = 6
to find w use:
longer leg = √3 (shorter leg)
6 = √3 (w) substitute the given
6 = w√3 multiply the left side
6 w √3
= divide both side by √ 3
√3 √ 3

w=2 √ 3
To find z use:
hypotenuse = 2(shorter leg)
z = 2 (2√3)
z = 4√3
