    Trigonometry is derived from Greek words meaning triangle and measure. It involves using relationships between sides of a triangle to solve problems, such as determining the direction of travel when sailing at 10 knots with a 5 knot northward current. The key trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent, which relate angles of a right triangle to lengths of its sides. Pythagoras' theorem states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse.

    BASIC TRIGONOMETRY

    TRIGONOMETRY
     Derivative from the Greek words for triangle
    (trigōnon) and measure (metron)
     Straight line and shape is closed
     One of the polygon (180°)
    You are out for a day’s sailing, and don’t really
    mind where you end up. You started out heading
    to east, and plan to sail for an hour at a cruising
    speed of 10 Knots. The current is due north, and
    running at 5 Knots. What direction will you end
    up travelling in?

    5 knots

    10 knots
    Right
    Angle/Triangle
    Name Abbreviation Relationship to sides of the triangle

    Sine Sin Sin (θ) = Opposite/hypotenuse

    Cosine Cos Cos (θ) = Adjacent/hypotenuse

    Tangent Tan Tan (θ) = Opposite/adjacent
