Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a field of mathematics. It is the study of triangles. Trigonometry includes planar trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, finding unknown values in triangles, trigonometric functions, and trigonometric function graphs.

3,810 Questions

Properties of equilateral triangle?

An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides and 3 equal 60 interior angles that add up to 180 degrees

How is trigonometry used in architecture?

Whenever architecture involves the use of lines that are not on the x or y axis, it will involve trigonometry to calculate the length of lines and the angles they make from one another.
One example is calculating roof pitch.

All kinds of triangles?

They are classified as: scalene, obtuse, right angle. equilateral and isosceles

How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?

The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.

Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.

What does 11.98 round up to?

12.0 if you want 3 sig-figs, or 12 if you only want 2.

What are the quadrants in math?

There are four quadrants. They are represented by Roman numerals : I(one), II(two), III(three), IV(four). The first quadrant contains all positive points , (+x, +y) The second quadrant contains negative x's and positive y's , (-x, +y)

The third quadrant is all negative , (-x, -y)

The fourth quadrant has negative y's and positive x's , (+x, -y)

What is the equation of area of a diamond?

Same as a rectangle. It is, after all, a type of rectangle (lenght >< width)

Find the value of sin 300 degrees?

sin 300 = -sin 60 = -sqrt(3)/2 you can get this because using the unit circle.

What is a measurement of angles?

Angles are measured by degrees. Fractions of degrees are measured in minutes and seconds.

What Is the value of cos?

Cos is the ratio between adjacent side (of the given angle thieta) to the hypotenuse of the triangle.

How would you explain how to find sine and cosine within each quadrant of a unit circle?

To find the sin/cos at a given point on the unit circle, draw a radius to that point. Then break the radius into components - one completely horizontal and one completely vertical. The sine is the vertical component, the cosine is the horizontal component.

How do you derive sin2x?

If you are refering to the double-angle formula for sin(x), the best way is to use what is known as Euler's identity. Euler's identity is eix = cos(x) + i*sin(x) where x is any real angle in radians, e is Euler's constant 2.71828182845... and i is the imaginary number: SQRT(-1). Assuming that is true, then ei(2x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) and that is the same as saying (eix)2= cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) and substituting from the original equation: (cos(x) + i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x). By distribution, remembering that i2 = -1, we get cos2(x) + i*2*sin(x)*cos(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x). Now we can separate the equation into its real and imaginary parts. cos2(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) and i*2*sin(x)*cos(x) = i*sin(2x), and after i cancels, there's our good old double angle formula.

If derive refers to derivative, then use the chain rule. d(sin(2x))/dx=2cos(2x)

Rules for adding and subtracting integers?

ADDING: same sign, add and keep that sign. opposite sides, subtract their absolute values and use the sign of the number with the larger absolute value

SUBRTRACTING: change the sign of the subtrahend (2nd number) then ADD using rules above.

What is the quadrant of 8.3?

8.3 Radians? is in the second quadrant.


8.3/pi*180 is about 115. 115 is in the second quadrant.

Why is Cosine used?

Because it is not always convenient to convert to convert sin to cos when working with adjacent sides.

What is the tangent formula in trig?

The Tangemt Formula for Geometry is opposite over adjacent, or opp./adj.

What is the name for a four sided figure with 2 straight sides and two curved sides?

Maybe a parallelogram. You should do a google image search for parallelogram and see if it's the shape you're thinking of.

How many side are on a hectagon?

A hectagon has 100 sides. It might be confused with a heptagon which has 7 sides.
