Trigonometric Formulas - Handy Summary Sheet: 1 0 0 0 Cos Sin

This document provides a summary of common trigonometric formulas and identities for reference. It includes the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent for the first quadrant, as well conversions between quadrants. Some basic trigonometric identities are listed, such as the Pythagorean identities and double angle formulas. Right triangle definitions are reviewed along with the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines formulas. Inverse trig functions and their domains/ranges are also defined.
