TRIGONOMETRY

There are three basic trigonometric rations: Sine, Cosine and Tangent.
Each of these relates an angle of a right-angle triangle to a ratio of the
lengths of two of its sides.
The sides of the triangle have names, two of which are dependent on
their position in relation to a specific angle.
The longest side (always opposite the right angle) is called the
hypotenuse. The side opposite the angle is called the opposite side and the
side next to the angle is called the adjacent side. Note that, when the chosen
angle is at A, the sides labeled opposite and adjacent change.
TANGENT:
Tan C = Length of opposite side
Length of adjacent side

Example1. Find the length of the side AC in

cos 60

= AB / AC
= 28 / 0.5
= 56 cm.

Find the Sine and Cosine of the following angles.

a) 171

b) 216

a) Sin 171

Cos 171

b) Sin 216

= Sin (180 - 171 )

= Sin 9
= 0.1564
= Cos ( - 180 - 171 )
= Cos - 9
= -0.9877
= Sin (360 216)
= Sin 144
= 0.5878

Cos 216

= Cos (360 216)

= Cos 144
= 0.8090
