Study Notes
Basic Angle Measurements
- One complete revolution is 360 degrees.
- Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees.
- Right angles measure exactly 90 degrees.
- Obtuse angles measure greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Straight angles measure 180 degrees.
Angle Relationships
- Complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary angles sum up to 180 degrees.
- Complementary and supplementary formulas: 90 - y and 180 - y respectively.
Triangle Properties
- Tick marks on triangle sides indicate length differences (one tick means equal length, different ticks indicate varied lengths).
- In a right triangle:
- Hypotenuse (c) is the longest side.
- Leg a is the bottom side, leg b is the left side.
- Theta (θ) is located at the angle inside the triangle.
Pythagorean Theorem
- The formula is a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.
Special Triangles
- Equilateral triangles have three equal sides and angles: 60°, 60°, 60°.
- A 30-60-90 triangle has angles of 30°, 60°, and 90° with side ratios t : √3t : 2t.
- A 45-45-90 triangle has angles of 45°, 45°, and 90° with side ratios t : t : √2t.
Graphing Coordinates
- First Quadrant (top right): x and y are positive.
- Second Quadrant (top left): x is negative, y is positive.
- Third Quadrant (bottom left): x and y are negative.
- Fourth Quadrant (bottom right): x is positive, y is negative.
Distance and Circle Formulas
- Distance formula: √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²].
- Circle equation center is at (h,k) with radius r: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².
Trigonometric Functions
- Sine: sin(θ) = y/r
- Cosine: cos(θ) = x/r
- Tangent: tan(θ) = y/x
- Secant: sec(θ) = r/x
- Cosecant: csc(θ) = r/y
- Cotangent: cot(θ) = x/y.
Finding Trigonometric Functions
- To find remaining trig functions, use r² = x² + y² (derived from the Pythagorean theorem).
Identities in Trigonometry
- Reciprocal identities:
- cscθ = 1/sinθ
- secθ = 1/cosθ
- cotθ = 1/tanθ
- Ratio identities:
- cotθ = x/y = cosθ/sinθ
- tanθ = sinθ/cosθ.
CAST Rule
- Used to memorize signs of trigonometric functions in different quadrants:
- C (cos) in the fourth quadrant is positive.
- A (All) in the first quadrant means all functions are positive.
- S (sin) in the second quadrant is positive.
- T (tan) in the third quadrant is positive.
