There are two main triangles used in Trigonometry Triangles
To find out the lengths of the sides, each side has a variable. The Hypotenuse is equal to “a square root of 2” The legs are equal to “a”
The hypotenuse is equal to “2a” The leg across from 60 degrees equal to “a square root of 3” The leg across from 3o degrees is equal to “a”
To find the angles of the triangles, use soh cah toa Soh: sin(opposite/hypotenuse) Cah: cos(adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa: tan(opposite/adjacent) Soh Cah Toa
Another method to find the length of sides is the Pythagorean theorem. The sides are labeled a, b, and c The equation is a^2+b^2=c^2 Pythagorean Theorem
