    Trignometry
In summary, the basic trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent, which are used to relate the sides of a right triangle to its angles. The Pythagorean theorem in trigonometry states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The unit circle in trigonometry is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, used to understand trigonometric functions for any angle. Sine and cosine differ in the sides they relate to an angle, with sine relating the opposite side and cosine relating the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. To solve for unknown sides and angles in a right triangle, trigonometric ratios can be used with given

Homework Statement



What are the other Trignometry Rules/properties/common equations?



The Attempt at a Solution



cos2 theta + sin2 theta = 1
1 + tan2 theta = sec2 theta
1 + cot2 theta = csc2 theta
2sin theta = 2cos theta sin theta

Lol gotcha...thanks again
 

1. What are the basic trigonometric ratios?

The basic trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent. These ratios are used to relate the sides of a right triangle to its angles.

2. What is the Pythagorean theorem in trigonometry?

The Pythagorean theorem in trigonometry states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

3. What is the unit circle in trigonometry?

The unit circle in trigonometry is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin on a Cartesian plane. It is used to understand the values of trigonometric functions for any angle.

4. What is the difference between sine and cosine?

Sine and cosine are both trigonometric ratios, but they differ in the sides of a right triangle that they relate to an angle. Sine relates the opposite side to the hypotenuse, while cosine relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

5. How do you solve for unknown sides and angles in a right triangle using trigonometric ratios?

To solve for an unknown side or angle in a right triangle, you can use the trigonometric ratios and the given information about the triangle. For example, to find the length of the side opposite to a given angle, you can use the sine ratio: sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse. Rearranging the equation, you can solve for the unknown side.
