Key Topics to Revise

1

Standard Angles and Their Derivation

  • Standard angles are 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°
  • 30° and 60° angles are derived from an equilateral triangle
  • 45° angle is derived from an isosceles right-angled triangle
2

Table of Trigonometric Ratios

  • sin θ increases from 0 to 1 as θ goes from 0° to 90°
  • cos θ decreases from 1 to 0 as θ goes from 0° to 90°
  • tan θ increases from 0 to ∞ as θ goes from 0° to 90°
3

Fundamental Trigonometric Identities

  • sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 (Pythagorean identity)
  • sec² θ - tan² θ = 1 (derived from Pythagorean identity)
  • cosec² θ - cot² θ = 1 (derived from Pythagorean identity)
4

Evaluation of Trigonometric Expressions

  • Substitute standard angle values directly into expressions
  • Use algebraic operations with surds and fractions carefully
  • Apply BODMAS rule when evaluating complex expressions
