Study Notes

  • Trigonometry refers to the study of triangle measurements.
  • The hypotenuse is the side of the triangle that is always opposite the right angle.
  • The sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
  • A 45°-45°-90° angle is a special angle in a right triangle.
  • The value of cos 60° is 1/2.
  • The exact value of sin 30 + cos 60 is 1.
  • The exact value of sec 60 + sin 30 is 2 1/2.
  • Given a triangle ABC with sides 5 ft, 12 ft, and 13 ft, the hypotenuse is AC.
  • The side adjacent to ∠B in the triangle is BC.
  • The value of sin B in the triangle is 5/13.
  • The value of tan A in the triangle is 12/5.

  • Lowell looking at a star on a Christmas tree illustrates the angle of elevation.
  • Luzviminda on top of a tower watching a boat leaving the port illustrates the angle of depression.
  • The angle of elevation and depression represent alternate interior angles formed by a parallel lines cut by a transversal.
