Trigonometric Ratio Worksheets
How to Use Trigonometric Ratios to Finding Missing Sides of a Triangle - Trigonometric functions are vastly used in real-life situations. One of the most common uses of these functions is to solve triangles. You can use a trigonometric function to solve a triangle in three basic steps; You need to start by choosing the appropriate trigonometric function, including sine, cosine, or tangent. This can be done through the determination of which side you know and which side you are looking for. The next step is substitution; whatever information you have, you can insert it into the functions. Once you have substituted the values within the function, it is time to solve it.
