Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concept of Complementary Angles

  • Two acute angles are complementary if their sum is 90°
  • Examples: 30° and 60°, 45° and 45°, 70° and 20°
  • If one angle is θ, its complement is (90° - θ)
2

Sine and Cosine Relationships

  • sin(90° - θ) = cos θ
  • cos(90° - θ) = sin θ
  • These relationships are reciprocal - sine of an angle equals cosine of its complement
3

Tangent and Cotangent Relationships

  • tan(90° - θ) = cot θ
  • cot(90° - θ) = tan θ
  • Tangent and cotangent are also co-functions
4

Secant and Cosecant Relationships

  • sec(90° - θ) = cosec θ
  • cosec(90° - θ) = sec θ
  • These are reciprocal function relationships
