What to Focus On

  • Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.
  • Dropping a perpendicular from a vertex of an equilateral triangle creates two equal right triangles.
  • The triangle ABD is a right triangle, not an equilateral triangle.

  • The 45° triangle is a separate right-angled isosceles triangle.
  • If AB = BC in a right triangle and ∠B = 90°, then ∠A = 45°.
  • AC = √2·a for the 45° triangle.

  • All exact values for standard angles should be remembered clearly.
  • tan 90° is not defined.
  • cot 0° is not defined.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The triangle used for 30° and 60° is equilateral all the way through, so every side inside it must be equal.

sin 30° and cos 60° are different values because they belong to different angles.

sin(A + B) = sin A + sin B, and similar addition rules work for cos and tan.

Memory Tips

Standard angle values for 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°

Sine of 30°

Cosine of 60°

Tangent of 60° and tangent of 30°
