  • We know that two triangles are geometrically similar if they have two pairs of congruent angles.
    ::我们知道两个三角形的几何相似 如果它们有两对相似角度的话

    This means that two right triangles are similar if they have one (additional) pair of congruent angles .
    ::这意味着两个右三角如果有一个(额外)对齐角度, 则相似 。

    Since they are similar triangles, their corresponding sides are proportional. Knowing the sides are proportional means you can easily solve for the length of  an unknown  side  in one triangle just by multiplying the length of the corresponding side by the ratio of a given pair of corresponding sides.
    ::由于它们相似的三角形, 它们对应的两边是成比例的。 了解两边是成比例的, 意味着一个三角形中未知的两边的长度很容易解决, 只需将对应的两边的长度乘以给定的两边的比。

    Consider the missing side x ,  in the triangle below:
    ::考虑缺失的侧面 x, 在以下三角形中 :

    The two right triangles are similar because they have two pairs of congruent angles.
    ::两个右三角是相似的, 因为它们有两对相似的角度。

    Sides  D F ¯ and A C ¯ are corresponding because they are both opposite the 22 angle.
    ::DF和AC是对应的 因为它们都在22号角对面

    The ratio of the two known side lengths is:  D F A C = 4 2 = 2 , so the scale factor between the two triangles is 2.
    ::两个已知侧边长度的比率是:DFAC=42=2,所以两个三角之间的比例系数是2。

    Th erefore   x = 10 , because F E C B = 10 5 = 2 .
    ::因此x=10,因为FECB=105=2。

    The Tangent  Ratio
    ::相近比率

    In fact, t he ratio between the two legs of any 22 right triangle will always be the same, because all 22 right triangles are similar , since they all have the same angle measures.
    ::事实上,任何22右三角形的两腿之间的比例总是一样,因为所有22右三角形是相似的,因为它们都有相同的角度量。

    In a 22  right triangle, t he ratio of the length of the leg opposite the 22 angle to the length of the leg adjacent to the 22 angle will always be 2 5 = 0.4 . You can use this fact to find a missing side of another 22  right triangle, which means it actually takes surprisingly little information to 'solve' a right triangle. 
    ::在 22 右三角形中, 22 角对面的腿长度与 22 角对面的腿长度之比总是 25 = 0.4。 您可以使用这个事实来找到另一个 22 右三角形中缺失的一面, 这意味着“ 解决” 右三角形需要的信息少得惊人。

    1. What is the length of side x ?
    ::1. 侧x的长度是多少?

      

    Right triangle with angle 22° and opposite side length 7, adjacent side labeled x.

    Because this is a 22 right triangle, you know that opposite leg adjacent leg = 2 5 = 0.4 .
    ::因为这是一个22右三角形, 你知道对面的腿腿=25=0.4。

    F ollow the solution steps in the interactive image: 
    ::在交互式图像中遵循解决方案步骤 :

    The ratio between the opposite leg and the adjacent leg for a given angle in a right triangle is called the tangent ratio . Your scientific or graphing calculator has tangent programmed into it, so that you can determine the opposite leg adjacent leg ratio for any angle within a right triangle.
    ::在右三角形中,对立腿和相邻腿对一个角度的比被称为正切比。您的科学或图形计算器已经将正切率编入其中,以便您能够确定右三角形中任何角的对立腿比。

    The abbreviation for tangent is .
    ::相切缩略语缩略语是

    2. In the right triangle below, if angle C is acute, find the value of tan C .
    ::2. 在下方右三角形,如果角C为急性,则找到TanC的价值。

    The value of tan C is .
    ::tanC的值是 。

    1. Solve for x .
    ::1. 解决x.

    Use your calculator to find the tangent of 75 .
    ::使用您的计算器查找 75 的正切值 。

    Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Then, type " tan ( 75 ) ".
    ::确保您的计算器在度模式中。 然后, 输入“ tan( 75) ” 。

    tan ( 75 ) 3.732

    This means that the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg for a 75 angle within a right triangle will be approximately 3.732.
    ::这意味着右三角内75角的对立腿长度与相邻腿长度之比将约为3.732。

    Now y ou know that the ratio opposite leg adjacent leg 3.732 . You can use this to solve for x :

    ::您可以使用65角来找到24和x之间的正确比例。

    Note that this answer is only approximate because you rounded the value of tan 65 .  An exact answer will include " tan ". The exact answer is:

    Example 1
    ::例1

    As the measure of an angle increases between 0 and 90 ,  how does the tangent ratio of the angle change?
    ::当角度值在 0 和 90 之间增加时, 角的正切比是如何变化的 ?

    As an angle increases, the length of its opposite leg increases. Therefore, opposite leg adjacent leg increases and thus the value of the tangent ratio increases.
    ::随着角度的增加,其相反腿的长度会增加。 因此,相邻腿的对面腿会增加,因此相切比的价值也会增加。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Tangent tells you the ratio of the two legs of a right triangle with a given angle. Why does the tangent ratio not work in the same way for non-right triangles?
    ::Tangent 告诉您右三角的两腿与给定角度的比。 为什么正切比对非右三角不以同样方式工作?

    Two right triangles with a 32 angle will be similar. Two non-right triangles with a 32 angle will not necessarily be similar. The tangent ratio works for right triangles because all right triangles with a given angle are similar. The tangent ratio doesn't work in the same way for non-right triangles because not all non-right triangles with a given angle are similar.
    ::带有 32 角的两个右三角将相似。 两个带有 32 角的非右三角不一定相似。 正切比对右三角有效, 因为所有带有指定角的右三角都相似。 正切比对非右三角不同样有效, 因为不是所有带有指定角的非右三角都相似 。

    You can only use the tangent ratio for right triangles.
    ::您只能使用右三角形的正切比 。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Use your calculator to find the tangent of 45 .  What does this value represent?  Present an argument for why this value makes sense.
    ::使用您的计算器查找 45 的正切值。 这个值代表什么 ? 为为什么这个值有意义提供一个参数 。

    Using a calculator:   tan ( 45 ) = 1  
    ::使用计算器: tan( 45)=1

    This means that the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg is equal to 1 for right triangles with a 45  angle.
    ::这意味着对面腿长度与相邻腿长度之比,45角的右三角形等于1。

    This should make sense because right triangles with a 45  angle are isosceles. The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent , so the ratio between them will be 1.
    ::这应该有道理, 因为右三角形的角为 45 角是等分数。 等分三角形的腿是相容的, 所以它们之间的比值将是 1 。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Solve for x .
    ::解决x。

    Right triangle with angles 35° and x, side opposite 35° is 18.

    Use the tangent ratio of a 35  angle.
    ::使用角为 35 的正切比 。

    tan ( 35 ) = opposite leg adjacent leg tan ( 35 ) = A C A B = x 18 X X x = 18 tan ( 35 ) x 18 ( 0.7 ) x 12.604
