Pythagoras theorem and trigonometry 2 Flashcards
What does the graph of sine look like?
Starts at 0 and goes up cutting at the 180, 360 points
What does the graph of cos look like?
Starts at 1 starts by going down and then cutting at 90 and 270.
What is the sine rule and when can it be used?
Can only be used for triangles with 2 known sides and angles including an unknown (x). For finding sides -> ( a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC). For finding angles -> (sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c). Then replace in the figures
In trig what do the a and A represent?
The a represents sides and A represents an angle.
What is the cos rule and when can it be used?
Can only be used when you have 3 sides and 1 angle including an unknown. For sides (a ² = b ² + c ² - 2bc x COS(A)). For finding angles (COS(A) = a² + b ² + c ² / 2bc
How to find the length of the longest horizontal of a cuboid with dimensions?
D = √ a ² + b ² + c ²
How to calculate area of a triangle using trig?
Area = ab sin(c) / 2
