What to Focus On

  • Right triangle has one 90° angle
  • Hypotenuse is always the longest side
  • Each trigonometric ratio compares two specific sides

  • Six ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot
  • Primary ratios: sin, cos, tan
  • Secondary ratios are reciprocals of primary ratios

  • Use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side
  • Correctly identify opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse
  • Verify answers using trigonometric identities

Common Mistakes to Avoid

sin θ means sin × θ, so sin 30° = sin × 30

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse can be any of the three sides

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 means sin θ + cos θ = 1

Memory Tips

SOH-CAH-TOA (sin, cos, tan ratios)

Reciprocal relationships (cosec, sec, cot)

Fundamental identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

Complementary angles: sin(90° - θ) = cos θ
