Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Meaning of solving a right-angled triangle

  • A right-angled triangle is solved when the remaining angles and remaining sides are found.
  • The two main cases are: one side and one acute angle given, or two sides given.
  • The side names relative to a given angle are base, perpendicular, and hypotenuse.
2

2. Finding missing angles using trigonometric ratios

  • If side lengths are known, angles can be found by matching ratios with standard values.
  • Use sine when perpendicular and hypotenuse are known.
  • Use tangent when perpendicular and base are known.
3

3. Two right triangles sharing a side

  • A common problem uses two right triangles that share one side.
  • First find the side in one triangle, then use it in the next triangle.
  • The side BC may be a sum of two parts, BD + DC.
4

4. Two-triangle method with unknown length AC

  • Let an unknown segment be named x when needed.
  • Use one right triangle to form one equation and the other triangle to form a second equation.
  • Substitute the common unknown into the first equation.
