What to Focus On

  • Right triangle ratios are the base of the chapter.
  • Pythagoras theorem is used repeatedly in special-angle constructions.
  • Reciprocal ratios are found from sine, cosine, and tangent.

  • A 45°-45°-90° triangle has equal legs.
  • The hypotenuse is square root of 2 times one leg.
  • sin 45° and cos 45° have the same value.

  • The 30° construction produces an equilateral triangle.
  • The longer side of the 30° right triangle is twice the shorter side.
  • OM becomes square root of 3 times a units.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

tan 90° is 0 because the tangent value at 0° and 90° should behave symmetrically.

sec 90° = 0 because cosine at 90° is 0.

In the 30° construction, triangle PMO itself is equilateral.

Memory Tips

Special-angle sine values in order

Cosine values in reverse order

45° is the equal-side angle

45° construction with OM = PM
