What to Focus On

  • Trigonometry means measurement of sides and angles of a triangle.
  • It has applications in astronomy, geography, surveying, engineering, and navigation.
  • T-ratios in this chapter are defined only for acute angles of a right triangle.

  • In right triangle ABC right-angled at B, AC is the hypotenuse.
  • For angle A = theta, BC is opposite and AB is adjacent.
  • The six ratios are sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot.

  • Use Pythagoras Theorem first when two sides are known.
  • After the third side is found, apply the ratio definitions.
  • This is the standard method for right-triangle trigonometry problems.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

sin A, cos A, tan A are separate symbols that can be split into parts and handled independently.

The value of a trigonometric ratio changes when the size of the right triangle changes.

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the chosen acute angle.
