SL3.5 Angles of Any Magnitude Consolidation Class Notes

This document provides a review of trigonometric conversions and identities involving angles measured in radians. It includes: 1) Examples of evaluating trigonometric functions such as sin, cos, and tan for specific angles in radians. 2) Summaries of trigonometric conversions formulas for complementary angles, coterminal angles, and angles in different quadrants. 3) Examples of using trigonometric conversions and identities to simplify expressions involving sin, cos, and tan of sums and differences of angles. 4) A discussion of the ambiguous case that can arise when using the sine rule to find an angle, since sine is positive in two different quadrants.

The Ambiguous Case For the Sine Rule
Since sine is positive in the first (acute) and second (obtuse)
quadrants, there are two possible answers when using the
sine rule to find an angle.
Example 4: Find the possible values of !.
Example 5:
