1. It is a tool used for measuring distance
that cannot be directly measured. Derived
from the Greek word “trigon” and “metron”
which is literally means triangle
measurement.

What did I
discover?
In the world of trigonometry, the two legs can either
be opposite or adjacent depending on the position of
our angle which is represented by (theta).
Since our theta is on C.
Our opposite will be AB
and our adjacent
Is BC while AC will be
our hypotenuse.

Activity 4: Help me to find out!
Given: MNC
Example:
Consider the right triangle MNC below. c = 9, m = 8, and n = 12
The leg is denoted by m is the side of adjacent Let ∟C = θ
to C, the leg is denoted by c is the side opposite Using the lengths of these sides
to C, and the leg denoted by n is the hypotenuse denoted by m, n and c, solve the
of the triangle. first 3 trigonometric ratios of right
