Objectives
Students will be able to identify the adjacent/opposite side, with respect to theta and the hypotenuse of a triangle and define the six trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of triangle.
Estimated Time
40 minutes
Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any
Meaning of ratio,know about hypotenuse, short leg, long leg,right angle and vertices of right triangle and how to measure side and angle by using ruler and Protractor and also how to convert angle measure from degree to radians and radians to degree.

Activity:
- let us consider one right angle triangle and write the possible ratios of its sides with respect to its acute angle.
- Triangle has 3 sides.Using the sides of triangle,we can have six different ratios.(To write the ratio(fraction)numerator can be written in 3 ways and denominator in 2 ways, both can be written in 3*2=6 ways)
- Identify the name of the ratios in Trigonometry.
- Measure adjacent side and opposite side in a given triangle and record it on the table
Evaluation at the end of the activity
Find the six trigonometric functions of the triangle?
