Study Notes
Primary Focus of Trigonometry
- Trigonometry primarily focuses on the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles, particularly right-angled triangles.
Common Applications of Trigonometry
- Trigonometry is commonly used in fields such as physics, engineering, astronomy, and architecture for calculations involving angles and distances.
Trigonometry and Circles
- In relation to circles, trigonometry is applied to define angles and distances using concepts like sine, cosine, and tangent, which are foundational in describing circular motion.
Fundamental Concept
- The fundamental concept that forms the basis for many trigonometric functions is the unit circle, which allows for the definition of sine and cosine values based on the coordinates of points on the circle.
Angles Associated with 30-60-90 Triangle Ratios
- The angles commonly associated with 30-60-90 triangle ratios are 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and the right angle of 90 degrees, leading to specific length ratios of the sides opposite these angles.
