Lesson 9 - Reference Angles: Introduction to Trigonometry in Taglish - ALS Module Trigonometric Functions 2

 LESSON 9 – REFERENCE ANGLES

Sa Lesson 9, matutunan natin ang tungkol sa reference angles o mga sangguniang anggulo. Ipapakita sa iyo ng araling ito kung paano hanapin ang mga values ng anim na trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, at cotangent) ng iba pang mga anggulo na may mga sukat na multiples ng 30o, 45o, at 60o. Malalaman mo na ang kanilang mga values ay katulad din ng natutunan natin sa nakaraang aralin.



PAG-ARALAN AT SURIIN NATIN

Pagmasdan ang Figure 1 sa ibaba:


Look at the terminal side of A (Angle A). What is the acute angle formed by this terminal side with the horizontal axis?

If your answer is B, you are right. B is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of ∠A and the horizontal axis. B is called the reference angle of ∠A. 

Pagmasdan ang Figure 2 sa ibaba:

        Ang mga given angles A sa itaas ay may kulay itim, samantalang kulay pula naman ang mga reference angles.

Mapupuna natin ang mga reference angles ay mga acute angles (anggulo na may sukat na mataas sa zero degrees pero mas mababa sa 90 degrees.) Ang reference angle ay nabuo ng terminal side (pinakadulong gilid) ng given angle at ng horizontal axis ( or x-axis).

TANDAAN ANG MGA SUMUSUNOD

1. Lahat ng reference angle r ay acute angles na may sukat na mas mataas sa zero degree pero mas mababa sa 90 degrees.

2. Sa  First Quadrant (0o < θ < 90o), ang reference angle r ng given angle θ ay ang mismong given angle θ.

Halimbawa, kung ang given angle θ = 30o, ang reference angle r nito ay ∠30o din.

3. Sa Second Quadrant (90o < θ < 180o), mahahanap ang reference angle r ng given angle θ sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng supplementary angle nito o paggamit ng formula nito: r = 180o - θ
Halimbawa, kung θ = 130o , its reference angle r is:
r =  180o - θ ==> r = 180o – 130o ==> r =50o.

3. Sa Third Quadrant (180o < θ < 270o), mahahanap ang reference angle r ng given angle θ sa pamamagitan ng formulang ito:  r = θ - 180o

Halimbawa, kung θ = 250o , its reference angle r is:
r =  θ - 180==>   r = 250o – 180o ==> r =70o.

4. Sa Fourth Quadrant ( 270o < θ < 360o), mahahanap ang reference angle r ng given angle θ sa pamamagitan ng formulang ito:  r = 360o - θ

Halimbawa, kung θ = 305o , its reference angle r is:
r =  360o - θ==> r = 360o – 305o ==> r =55o.

A. The numeric value of the trigonometric function of a given angle is equal to the numeric value of the trigonometric function of its reference angle.

Ibig sabihin, kung ang reference angle r ng Ao  ay Bo at  ang sin Ao = x, ang sin Bo ay x din.

When we say numeric value, it means that we also consider the sign (positive or negative) of the trigonometric function.

B. We note that a trigonometric function is positive or negative depending on the measure of the angle. In determining the sign of a numeric value, we observe the following rules:

    1. If the measure of θ is greater than 0° but less than 90°, all the six trigonometric functions (sin θ, cos θ, tan θ,  csc θ, sec θ , and cot θ)  are positive

Kung ang given angle θ ay nasa First Quadrant, lahat ng anim na trigonometric functions - sin θ, cos θ , tanθ,  csc θ, sec θ , at cot θ  - ay pawang  POSITIVE. 

    2. If the measure of θ is greater than 90° but less than 180°, sin θ and csc θ are positive. The other four functions are negative.

Kung ang given angle θ ay nasa Second Quadrant, ang sin θ  at ang kanyang reciprocal/inverse na csc θ ay POSITIVE; ang iba pang function ay NEGATIVE na.

    3. If the measure of θ is greater than 180° but less than 270°, tan θ and cot θ are positive. The other four functions are negative.

Kung ang given angle θ ay nasa Third Quadrant, ang tan θ at ang kanyang reciprocal / inverse na cot θ ay POSITIVE; ang iba pang function ay NEGATIVE na.

    4. If the measure of θ is greater than 270° but less than 360°, cos θ and sec θ are positive. The other four functions are negative.

Kung ang given angle θ ay nasa Fourth Quadrant, ang cos θ at ang kanyang reciprocal / inverse  na sec θ ay POSITIVE; ang iba pang function ay NEGATIVE na.

Now let’s try to solve for the numeric values of the trigonometric functions of a given angle.

Problem 1: Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of the angle 120°. 

We have previously learned that the reference angle of 120° is 60°.
Therefore, we will use the trigonometric function values of the special angle 60° that you learned in Lesson 8. Since 120° is in the Second Quadrant, only sine and its reciprocal/inverse cosecant are positive.

Thus, we have:

sin 120° = sin 60° = √3/2 
csc 120° = csc 60° = 2/√3  𝑜𝑟 2√3/3
cos 120° = –cos 60° = - 1/2
sec 120° = –sec 60° = - 2/1  or -2
tan 120° = –tan 60° = - √3/1  𝑜𝑟 −√3
cot 120° = –cot 60°- 1/√3 𝑜𝑟 −√3/3

Problem 2: Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of the angle 225°

STEP 1: Determine the reference angle of the given angle.

225° is between 180° and 270° and in the Third Quadrant,  so we use the formula:
r = θ - 180° 
r = 225° - 180° 
r = 45°

Samakatuwid, ang reference angle ng 225o ay ang special angle na 45o.

STEP 2: Determine the values of the trigonometric functions of the reference angle. 

Gagamitin natin ang anim na trigonometric functions ng 45° na nakuha natin sa Lesson 8.  

STEP 3: Determine the signs of the values.

The given angle is 225° and in the Third Quadrant. Therefore, tangent and cotangent are the only positive functions. We thus have:

sin 225° = -sin 45° = - 1/√2 or - √2/2    
csc 225° = -csc 45° = - √2/1  𝑜𝑟 −√2
cos 225° = –cos 45° = - 1/√2  𝑜𝑟 −√2/2
sec 225°–sec 45°– √2/1  𝑜𝑟 −√2  
tan 225° = tan 45° = 1/1 or 1       
cot 225° = cot 45° = 1/1 or 1

Problem 3: Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of the angle 330°

STEP 1: Determine the reference angle of the given angle.

330° is between 270° and 360° and in the Fourth Quadrant,  so we use the formula:
r = 360o - θ 
r = 360° - 330° 
r = 30°

Samakatuwid, ang reference angle ng 330o ay ang special angle na 30o.

STEP 2: Determine the values of the trigonometric functions of the reference angle. 

Gagamitin natin ang anim na trigonometric functions ng 30° na nakuha natin sa Lesson 8.  

STEP 3: Determine the signs of the values.

The given angle is 330° and in the Fourth Quadrant. Therefore, cosine and secant are the only positive functions. We thus have:

sin 330° = -sin 30° = - 1/2
csc 330° = -csc 30° = - 2/1  𝑜𝑟 −2
cos 330° = cos 30° = √3/2
sec 330°sec 30°2/√3  𝑜𝑟  (2√3)/3
tan 330° = -tan 30° = - 1/√3 or - √3/3    
cot 330° = -cot 30° = - √3/1 or - √3
