Trigonometry & Scientific Calculators APPs 三角函数式&科学计算器应用程序

Understanding how to to create properly formatted equations in a document is an important skill; however, you should also be able to understand how to use these formulas to solve for missing variables as well.

理解如何在文档中创建格式正确的方程式是一项重要技能,能够理解如何使用这些公式来解决缺少的变量也是同样重要。

In this project you will create a Trigonometry formula reference guide which will help you in your math classes; however some of the values in the example are missing. You will need to solve for these missing variables using the scientific calculator on your computer. You can use either the free calculator that is preinstalled on your computer, or you can use one of the many free online scientific calculators.

在此项目中,你将创建一个在数学课上非常有用的三角函数参考公式;但是,示例中缺少一些值。你需要使用电脑上的科学计算器来解决这些缺失的变量。可以使用预装在电脑上的免费计算器,也可以使用许多免费在线科学计算器。

This project has 6 formulas in total. There are the 3 standard Trig Ratios which include “Sine”, “Cosine” and “Tangent”, and 3 the Inverse Ratios which include “Cosecant”, “Secant”, and “Cotangent”. The table below shows how the corresponding “Inverse Ratios” are created from its corresponding “Trig Ratio”.

本项目共有6个公式。有3个标准三角比,包括“正弦”、“余弦”和“正切”,还有3个反比,包括“余割”、“正割”和“余切”。下表显示了如何从相应的“三角比”创建相应的“反三角比”。

Note: It is important to understand the process used to create the “Inverse Ratios” since some scientific calculators do not have dedicated  “Cosecant”, “Secant”, and “Cotangent” functions. When a calculator dose not have dedicated functions for the “Inverse Ratios”, you will need to solve for the variable using the Inverted Ratio shown in the second column.

注:由于一些科学计算器没有专用的余割正割余切函数,因此理解创建反比的过程非常重要。当计算器没有反比率的专用函数时,需要使用第二列中显示的反比率求解变量。

Special Note: There can only be one “Co” per “Trig Ratio” pair.
注意:每一组三角比只有一个Co

Labeling Trigonometric Diagrams 标记三角图

When Labeling a Triangle we should use LARGE letters to label the Angles, and small letter to label the three sides of a Triangle. In order to make it easier for use to learn Trigonometric Equations a standard labeling convention is used. We start with the smallest Angle in a Triangle. This angle is referred to as Angle A or <A for short. “Side a” is “Opposite” to <A. Anglesare labeled in order of size, with the largest “Angle” being <C. Therefore if we are solving for <A then “side a” is the “Opposite”, “side b” is the “Adjacent”, and “side c” is the “Hypotenuse”.

在标记三角形时,我们应该用大号字母标记角度,用小写字母标记三角形的三条边。为了便于学习三角方程,在此使用了标准的标记方法。我们从三角形中的最小角度开始。该角度简称为角度A或“<A”,“a面”与“<a”相对。角度按大小顺序标记,最大“角度”为“<C”。因此,如果求解“<A”,那么“a面”在“对边”,b面是“邻边”,c面是“斜边”。 

Solving Trig Ratios 求三角比

If we want to solve for <A  and we know the length of “side a” and “side b” then we would need to use the “Tangent formula”. We use this formula because of the variables that we already know and can use to solve for the missing angle. Solve the equation if:

如果求“<A”,且知道“a面”和“b面”的长度,那么需要使用“正切公式”。我们之所以使用这个公式,是因为我们已经知道了一些变量,可以用来求解缺失的角度。如果满足以下条件,则求解方程: 

<A= Unknown
Side a = 1cm
Side b = 3cm 

If you entered the equation into your calculator correctly you should have got the answer “<A = 18.43º”. Can you determine the the value for “<B” on your own?

如果将方程式正确输入计算器,应该得到答案“<A=18.43º”。那“<B”的值应该是多少呢?

Converting Degrees to Radians 将度转换为弧度

When solving Trigonometric equations you should also be aware of if you are solving the equations using “Degrees” or “Radians”. Either method is fine, but you need to make sure that if you are using a measurement of an “Angel” that you have selected “Degrees” on your calculator; however, some calculators will require you to covert “Degrees” to “Radians” so it is important to know how to do this conversion. In order to convert degrees to radians  to solve Trigonometric equations you need to use the formula:

在求解三角方程时,还应注意使用“度”或“弧度”求解方程。这两种方法都可以,但是如果你使用的是“角度”的测量,你需要确保你已经在计算器上选择了“度”;但是,有些计算器需要将“度”转换为“弧度”,因此了解如何进行此转换非常重要。为了将度转换为弧度以求解三角方程,需要使用以下公式:
