McDougall Littell Algebra II Chapter 13 Vocabulary


AB
Cosine Functionin a right triangle where the angle is equal to the adjacent/hypotenuse.
Coterminal Angletwo angles in standard position with terminal sides that coincide.
Law of Cosinesif triangle ABC has sides of lengths a, b, and c, then a^2 = b^ + c^2 - 2(b)(c)cosA.
Law of Sinesif triangle ABC has sides of lengths a, b, and c, then a/Sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C.
Parametric Equationsequations that express two variables in terms of a third variable, called the parameter.
RadianIn a circle with radius r and center at the origin, one radian is the measure of an angle in standard position whose terminal side intercepts an arc of length r.
Reference Angleif an angle is in standard position, this angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of the original angle and the x-axis.
Sectora region of a circle that is bounded by two radii and an arc of the circle.
Sine Functionin a right triangle where the angle is equal to the opposite/hypotenuse.
Tangent Functionin a right triangle where the angle is equal to the opposite/adjacent.
