Study Notes
Angle Basics
- Vertex angle in a triangle is defined as the angle opposite the base; for ∠DEF, it is ∠E.
- Correct labeling of angles should exclude terms like ∠YXW when labeling using angle points.
Angle Relationships
- Angles ∠X (95⁰) and ∠Y (85⁰) are supplementary if their sum equals 180⁰.
- Complementary angles add up to 90⁰; if ∠A is 42⁰, then ∠B is 48⁰ (90⁰ - 42⁰).
Angle Classifications
- Obtuse angles are greater than 90⁰; ∠C is classified as obtuse given ∠C = 120⁰.
Triangle Angles
- In triangle ABC, if ∠A = 40⁰ and ∠B = 80⁰, then ∠C can be calculated as 60⁰ (180⁰ - 40⁰ - 80⁰).
Degree and Radian Measure
- Conversion factor for degrees to radians is π/180°.
- Example conversion: 60° converts to π/3 radians; conversely, ³π/2 equals 270°.
Trigonometric Functions
- Inverse trigonometric functions are used to find unknown angles; specific conditions must be determined for each case.
- For given right triangle conditions, use relationships such as sin(∅) or cos(∅) to find angle measures.
Right Triangle Properties
- If one acute angle measures 65°, the other is found using 90° - 65°, resulting in 25°.
- If cos(∅) = ³/₇, then ∅ approximately equals 64.62°.
Trigonometric Values
- Values of trigonometric functions can be determined using known angles:
- sin(40°) approximately equals 0.643.
- If cos(∅) = ⁴/₅, then sin(∅) = ³/₅.
Similar Triangles
- Two triangles are not similar when their corresponding angles are not equal.
- If triangle XYZ is similar to triangle PMN, corresponding angles and sides can be utilized to find unknowns.
Problem Solving with Triangles
- Ladder problems utilize the Pythagorean theorem; the height can be found using height = √(ladder² - distance from wall²).
- For the airplane problem, altitude can be found using height = distance to fence * tan(plane's angle).
Applications and Context
- Understanding contextual applications such as angles in real-life situations (e.g. viewing waterfalls, airplane altitudes) enhances comprehension.
- Round results as necessary, especially in practical problems where approximations are acceptable.
