42
Q

What is PYTHAGORAS’ Theorem equation?

A

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

43
Q

In PYTHAGORAS’ theorem, what must C be?

A

C = Hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = Longest side
The side opposite the right angle

44
Q

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle (side A to B) If;
Side B to C = 12
Side C to A = 5

A

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(12 x 12) + (5 x 5) = C^2
144 + 25 = 169
Square root of 169 = 13

45
Q

If side A = X (short side)
B = 9cm
C = 12cm (Hypotenuse)
What is X?

Use pythagoras’ theorem

A

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 9^2 = 12^2
x^2 + 81 = 144
x^2 = 144 - 81
x^2 = 63
Square root of 63 = 7.93

46

51
Q

You are given 2 sides of of a triangle, and the associated angle. Which formula should you use to determine the 3rd side?

Sine or Cosine?

A

Cosine
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cos B
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C

If you are given 2 sides, and the included angle, and want the 3rd side, use the cosine rule

52
Q

You are given 3 sides of a triangle. Which formula should you use to determine the angle?

Sine or Cosine?

A

Cosine
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cos B
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C

If you are given 3 sides, and want to find anangle, use the cosine rule

53
Q

You are given a side of a scalene triangle and its associated angle. Which formula should you use?

Sine or Cosine?

A

Sine
sin A / a = sin B / b = sin C / c
a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

If you are given a side, and its associated angle, use the sine rule

54
Q

The formula for the area of a triangle

A

1/2ab sin C
1/2 x a x b x sin C

if given a b, it is sin C
If given b c, it is sin A
If given a c, it is sin B

55
Q

How to remember which formula;
Sin or Cosine

A

SIN is shorter than COSINE
Therefore;
SIN = Shorter formula;
a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
COSINE = Longer formula
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

REMEMBER: SIN is shorter than COSINE, use the shorter formula

56
Q

What is an ASYMPTOTE?

In context of Tan (90)

A

Tan 90 when plotted on a graph never actually reaches 90 degrees. The curve goes off to infinity

57
Q

Sine Curve - What is the AMPLITUDE?

A

Peaks or maximum value of the sine curve

Example; Sin = 5 sin3x
The amplitude is 5

58
Q

Sine Curve - What is the PERIOD?

A

The length of one cycle

Example; Sin = 5 sin3x
The period is 360 degrees divided by 3 = 120 degrees

59
Q

How many cycles in the Sine Curve
y = sin 2x

A

2 cycles in 360 degrees
y = sin 2x

60
Q

What is the period (length) of the Sine Curve cycle
y = sin 1/2x

A

There is 1/2 cycle in 360 degrees
y = sin 1/2x
360 / 0.5 = 720 degrees

It takes 2 full rotations of 360 degrees to equal a total cycle, as there is only half a cylce in 360 degrees, it takes 720 degrees to have a full rotation
