Opposite Hypotenuse Adjacent Hypotenuse: Sin Cos

This document discusses trigonometric functions of nonacute angles. It defines the six trigonometric functions in terms of opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle. It notes that the ranges of sine and cosine are bounded between -1 and 1, while the other four functions have unbounded ranges. It provides examples of determining whether trigonometric expressions are possible or not. It then gives examples of evaluating trigonometric functions of specific angles exactly, without decimals. The document concludes by explaining how to find all possible values of an angle given a trigonometric ratio and providing sample problems to solve.
