什么是 Trigonometric ratios?

Definition 69.3 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 69 章 — Trigonometry in the Right Triangle

For an acute angle θ\theta of a right triangle:

cos⁡θ=adjacenthypotenuse,sin⁡θ=oppositehypotenuse,tan⁡θ=oppositeadjacent.\cos\theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}, \qquad \sin\theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}, \qquad \tan\theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} .

These ratios depend only on θ\theta, not on the size of the triangle (all right triangles with the same acute angle are scalings of one another, by Thales).

The three sides seen from the angle = B: the hypotenuse [BC], the adjacent side [BA], the opposite side [AC].
The three sides seen from the angle θ=B^\theta = \widehat B: the hypotenuse [BC][BC], the adjacent side [BA][BA], the opposite side [AC][AC].

示例

Example 69.6

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse measures 88 and one angle is 35∘35^\circ; compute the side opposite to it. The ratio involving the opposite side and the hypotenuse is the sine:

sin⁡35∘=opposite8⟹opposite=8sin⁡35∘≈8×0.574≈4.6.\sin 35^\circ = \frac{\text{opposite}}{8} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \text{opposite} = 8 \sin 35^\circ \approx 8 \times 0.574 \approx 4.6 .

For the adjacent side, use the cosine: 8cos⁡35∘≈8×0.819≈6.68\cos 35^\circ \approx 8 \times 0.819 \approx 6.6. Check with Pythagoras: 4.62+6.62≈21+43≈64=824.6^2 + 6.6^2 \approx 21 + 43 \approx 64 = 8^2.
