Review Innovations Bridge Course April 2025 – Basic Trigonometry

ANGLES = space between two rays that extend from a common Half-Angle:
point called the vertex.
Acute angle – angle less than 90 0 A 1 − cos A A 1 + cos A
Right Angle – angle equal to 90 0 sin 2 = ±√ 2 cos 2 = ±√ 2
Obtuse Angle – angle greater than 90 0 A 1−cos A
Straight Angle – angle equal to 180 0 tan 2 = ±√1+cos A
Reflex Angle – angle greater than 180 0 Squares:
Complementary Angles = 2 angles whose sum is 90 0 sin2A =
1−cos 2A
cos2 A =
1 + cos 2A
Supplementary Angles = 2 angles whose sum is 180 0 2
1−cos 2A
2

Explementary Angles = 2 angles whose sum is 360 0 tan2 A = 1 + cos 2A

ANGLES OF MEASUREMENTS: Versine (versed sine): vers A = 1 – cos A


1 revolution = 2π rad
= 3600 Coversed sine: covers A = 1 – sin A
= 400 grads Haversine: hav A = ½ (1 – cos A)
= 6400 mils
Exsecant: exsec A = sec A – 1
RIGHT TRIANGLE FORMULAS:
a c OBLIQUE TRIANGLE FORMULAS:
sin A = c
csc A = a

b c
cos A = c sec A = b

a b
tan A = b cot A = a
Sine Law
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 a b c
= =
sin A sin B sin C
FUNDAMENTAL RELATIONS: Cosine Law
a2 = b2 + c2 − 2bc cos A
Reciprocal Relations:
b2 = a2 + c2 − 2ac cos B
cot A = 1 / tan A
c2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab cos C
sec A = 1 / cos A
csc A = 1 / sin A
Quotient Relations: Solution of Oblique Triangles
sin A cos A Case IV: there may be TWO solutions, ONE solution, or NO
tan A = cos A cot A = sin A
solution depending upon the given data
Pythagorean Relations:
sin2A + cos2A = 1
1 + tan2A = sec2A
1 + cot2A = csc2A

IDENTITIES:
Co-function Identities:
sin (900 – θ) = cos θ
cos (900 – θ) = sin θ
tan (900 – θ) = cot θ

Sum of Two Angles:


sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
tan A + tan B
tan (A + B) = 1−tan A tan B

Difference of Two Angles:


sin (A - B) = sin A cos B - cos A sin B
cos (A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
tan A − tan B
tan (A - B) = 1 + tan A tan B

Double Angle:
sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A
cos 2A = cos2A – sin2A
2tan A
tan 2A = 1−tan2 A
