Trigonometry To be able to find missing angles and sides in right angled triangles Starter - naming sides
Using a calculator sin (30) = (shift , 9 , 3 , = , AC) -1 sin (0. 5) = cos 45 = -1 tan (0. 8) = if sin(x) is 0. 6 - what is x?
the Sine rule hyp o x Sin (x) = opposite hypotenuse opp
the cos rule hyp o x adj Cos (x) = adjacent hypotenuse
the tan rule o x adj tan (x) = opposite adjacent opp
