Trig Cheat Sheet

Trig Cheat Sheet: Trigonometry is the study of triangles, which contain angles, of
course. Get to know some special rules for angles and various other important functions,
definitions, and translations. Sines and cosines are two trig functions that factor heavily
into any study of trigonometry; they have their own formulas and rules that you’ll want
to understand if you plan to study trig for very long.

As you study trig, you’ll find occasions when you need to change radians to degrees, or
vice versa. A formula for changing from degrees to radians or radians to degrees is:

Many of the formulas used in trigonometry are also found in algebra, calculus and
analytic geometry. But trigonometry also has some special formulas usually found just
in those discussions. A formula provides you a rule or equation that you can count on to
work, every single time. Trigonometry formulas gives a relationship between particular
quantities and units. The main trick to using formulas is to know what the different
letters represent. In the formulas given here, you have: r (radius); d(diameter or
distance); b (base or measure of a side); h (height); a, b, c (measures of
sides); x, y (coordinates on a graph); m (slope); M (midpoint); h, k (horizontal and
vertical distances from the center); θ (angle theta); and s (arc length). The formulas
particular to trigonometry have: sin (sine), cos (cosine), and tan (tangent), although
only sin is represented here.
