TRIGONOMETRY From a point O on the ground of a square courtyard of area

160,000 sq. m., the angle of elevation of three flagstaffs of
RIGHT TRIANGLES equal heights at three consecutive corners of the yard at A, B
amd C are 45 / ., 60 / , and 60 / . Respectively. Find the
height of each flagstaff in meters.

7. Determine the third interior angle, aside from the smallest

and the biggest of the triangle whose sides are 12 cm, 24cm,
and 16cm long.

IDENTITIES
Sin𝞱=o/h
Sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB
Cos𝞱=a/h
Sin(A-B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB
Tan𝞱=o/a
Cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB
1. From a point A on a line from the base of the Jose rizal
monument, the angle of elevation to the top of the Cos(A-B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
monument is 42 deg. From a point 100 feet away from A
Sin2𝞱=2sin𝞱cos𝞱
and on the same line, the angle to the top is 37.77 deg. Find
the height of the Jose rizal monument. Cos2𝞱=𝑐𝑜𝑠 θ − sin θ

tan(A+B) =
The angle of elevation of the top of the water toweer from
point A on the ground is 19.9 / . Find point B, 50 feet closer to θ
tan2𝞱 =
the tower, the angle of elevation is 21.8 / . What is the θ
height of the tower?
8. Find the value of tanB [sin (270 +B)]
3.From point A, at street level and 205 feet from the base
of a building. The angle of elevation to the top of the 9. Sove for x =
building is 23.1 deg. Also, from point A the angle of
elevation to the top of a neon sign, w/c is at the top the

Cosine Law for angles
4. referring to the problem 2, how tall is the sign?
cosA=-cosBcosC + sinBsinCcosa
OBLIQUE TRIANGLES
cosB=-cosAcosC + sinAsinCcosb

COSINE LAW cos a =cos b cos c + sin b sin c cos A
𝑎 = 𝑏 + 𝑐 − 2𝑏𝑐𝐶𝑜𝑠𝐴 cos b =cos a cos c + sin a sin c cos B
𝑏 = 𝑎 + 𝑐 − 2𝑎𝑐𝐶𝑜𝑠𝐵 cos c =cos a cos b + sin a sin b cos C
