TRIGONOMETRY
Trigonometry – that branch of mathematics that deals with the study of triangles. Angle – the figure formed by two half-lines (called rays) from a common point or origin
(called vertex ).. Its size is the amount of rotation from one of the rays (or sides) to the other.
Kinds of Angles:
1. Acute angle – an angle which measures between 0o and 900.2. Right angle – an angle formed by 2 perpendicular rays. It measures exactly 90o.3. Obtuse angle – an angle which measures between 90o and 180o.4. Straight angle – an angle formed by two rays extending in opposite directions. It
measures exactly 180o.5. Reflex angle – an angle greater than 180o but less than 360o.6. Perigon – an angle measuring exactly 360o.
Complementary angles – angles whose sum is 90o.
Supplementary angles - angles whose sum is 180o.Explementary angles - angles whose sum is 360o.
Triangle – a polygon of three sides. One important property of a triangle is that the sum of twoof its sides is greater than the third side and their difference is less than the third side.
Example: In triangle ABC, side AB = 8 m and side BC = 20 m. One possible dimension of side CA isa. 13 b. 11 c. 9 d. 7
Solution: Since the difference of two sides of a triangle is less than the third side, then
BC – AB < CA20 – 8 < CA
12 < CA ⇒ CA > 12 ⇒ ∴CA = 13
Kinds of Triangles (according to size of angles):
1. Right triangle – a triangle with a right angle.2. Oblique triangle - a triangle without a right angle. This is further classified into
a. Acute triangle – a triangle all of whose angles are acute.b. Obtuse triangle – a triangle with one obtuse angle.
Kinds of Triangles (according to relation of sides):
1. Scalene triangle – a triangle with no equal sides.2. Isosceles triangle - a triangle with two sides equal.3. Equilateral triangle – a triangle with all 3 sides equal. It is also equiangular.
Similar triangles – triangles where the corresponding angles are congruent and thecorresponding sides are proportional. Given two similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of any two corresponding sides.
Let A1 & A2 be area of smaller & bigger triangle,respectively.

The Pythagorean Theorem:
In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. A set of three positive integers that satisfy the Pythagorean principle such as 3, 4 and 5 and8, 15 and 17 constitute what is called a Pythagorean triple.
Units for Measurement of Angles:1. Degree – a measure of an angle which is equal to 1/360 of a revolution .2. Radian – the measure of the central angle subtended by an arc of a circle which is
equal in length to the radius of the circle. 1 revolution = 2π radians.3. Mil - a measure of an angle which is equal to 1/6400 of a revolution.4. Grad (or Gon) - a measure of an angle which is equal to 1/400 of a revolution.
To convert from degrees to radians and vice-versa, we use the relation 180o = π radians.
Pairs of Cofunctions: Pairs of Reciprocal Functions:1. sine & cosine 1. sine & cosecant
2. tangent & cotangent 2. cosine & secant3. secant & cosecant 3. tangent & cotangent
