A right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a right-angle. The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is the longest side, which is the one opposite the right angle. The adjacent side is the side which is between the angle in question and the right angle. The opposite side is opposite the angle in question. In any right angled triangle, for any angle: The sine of the angle = the length of the opposite side the length of the hypotenuse The cosine of the angle = the length of the adjacent side the length of the hypotenuse The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side the length of the adjacent side So in shorthand notation:

In a right triangle where theta is given and a side is given you can solve for anything. To solve for the hypotenuse use the phrase SOH CAH TOA. If the angle and the opposite are given use opposite side divided by sin of the angle. and vice versa for all other sides and angles. Soh cah toa stands for Sin opposite over Hypotenuse Cosin adjacent over hypotenuse Toa opposite over adjacent all of these are with respect to theta.

Given: sin(a+ b) = sin a cos b+ cos a sin b, we can figure out the following: sin(a? b) = sin(a+ (?b)) = sin a cos(?b) + cos a sin(?b) = sin a cos b+ cos a(? sin b) = sin a cos b? cos a sin b cos(a+b) = sin (pi 2 ? (a+ b) ) = sin ((pi 2 ? a ) ? b ) = sin (pi 2 ? a ) cos b?cos (pi 2 ? a ) sin b = cos a cos b?sin a sin b cos(a? b) = cos(a+ (?b)) = cos a cos(?b)? sin a sin(?b) = cos a cos b? sin a(? sin b) = cos a cos b+ sin a sin b tan(a+ b) = sin(a+ b) cos(a+ b) = sin a cos b+ cos a sin b cos a cos b? sin a sin b ? sec a sec b sec a sec b = sin a sec a+ sin b sec b 1? sin a sec a sin b sec b = tan a+ tan b 1? tan a tan b tan(a? b) = tan(a+ (?b)) = tan a+ tan(?b) 1? tan a tan(?b) = tan a+ (? tan b) 1? (? tan a tan b) = tan a? tan b 1 + tan a tan b

The unit circle is a commonly used tool in trigonometry because it helps the user to remember the special angles and their trigonometric functions. The unit circle is a circle drawn with its center at the origin of a graph(0,0), and with a radius of 1. All angles are measured starting from the x-axis in quadrant one and may go around the unit circle any number of degrees. Points on the outside of the circle that are in line with the terminal (ending) sides of the angles are very useful to know, as they give the trigonometric function of the angle through their coordinants. The format is (cos, sin). Note that in trigonometry, an angle can be of any size, positive or negative. An angle larger than 360º means that you have gone round the circle more than once.
