    This document provides an overview of basic trigonometry concepts including different types of triangles, trigonometric ratios, and key trigonometric identities. It defines general, isosceles, equilateral, and right triangles. It explains trigonometric ratios like sine, cosine, and tangent in the context of right triangles. It also derives important trigonometric identities like sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1 by rotating triangles and considering different angles.

    Trigonometry Part 1 (Basic) Prepared by LENG KIEN YUEN 12 July 2011

    Type of Triangle General Triangle

    Properties 3 sides 3 angles Sum of interior angle= 180 a + b + c = 180 Area = = Why??

    a x b c y

    Isosceles Triangle

    At least 2 sides with equal length b = c (Important properties)

    Equilateral Triangle

    3 sides with equal length a = b = c = 60 Is it isosceles triangle?

    Right Triangle
    Z = Hypotenuse (The longest side or opposite to right angle) Y = Opposite (The side opposite to the angle)

    There must be an angle = 90 Area = 2 The Hypotenuse, Opposite, and Adjacent sides are determined based on 1. Which are Hypotenuse, Opposite, and Adjacent sides based on 2? Pythagoras' theorem (Only for RIGHT TRIANGLE), that is = + There is a more general formula can be used by any triangle. Lets find where is it!
    1

    1
    X = Adjacent (The side adjacent to the angle)

    Right Angle 90

    Trigonometry Ratio For the Right Triangle (Acute Angle , 0 90, which in Quarter 1)

    Z Y

    sin = Note that: = =

    cos =

    tan =

    = tan , hence, tan =

    Guides I remember it based on the pattern of the line and visualize it in my mind. Yet, there is another way to remember it. It is SOH CAH TOA! http://www.khanacademy.org/ Trigonometry Basic Trigonometry & Basic Trigonometry II I left some space for you to take this note yourself. Please give credit to his great work! The Khan Academy.

    Other identities (Must Know) csc = Question Why do sin , cos , and tan while there are ? sin = sin , cos = cos , and tan = tan sec = cot =

    Answer sin , cos , and tan are called arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent. They are inverse to cos , sin , and tan and They will return angle or their range is in angle. That is, if sin = sin cos tan , then sin = . csc sin = 1 sec cos = 1 cot tan = 1

    sin = cos = tan =

    Let rotate the right triangle Rotate 90 clockwise


    Y X Y X

    2
    Z

    Lets see it from 1 sin = cos = tan =

    Lets see it from 2 sin = cos = tan =

    Conclusion Comparing both ratio for 1 and 2 , we notice that sin = cos cos = sin tan = We knows that sum of all = 180, hence 2 = 90 - 1 , then we have following identities sin = cos 90 cos = sin 90 tan = cot 90 Note : In fact, these identities are working for any , where 0 360.

    Let see the right triangle again

    Recall that there is a special property of right triangle, that is + + = =1 ---------

    What can you notice from equation above? Hints : sin = , cos = sin + cos = 1 tan + 1 = sec 1 + cot = csc ---------

    cos sin

    They are 3 important identities, please remember them. They can be used by any angles, 0 360.
