1.4.1 Trigonometry

Which side is the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle?

A

The longest side, opposite the right angle.

B

Every angle satisfies the identity sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\boxed{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1}sin2θ+cos2θ=1​.

C
  • sin⁡60∘=32\sin60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}sin60∘=23​​
  • cos⁡60∘=12\cos60^\circ=\frac12cos60∘=21​
  • tan⁡60∘=3\tan60^\circ=\sqrt3tan60∘=3​
D

For an acute angle, cos⁡θ=\cos\theta=cosθ= adjacenthypotenuse\boxed{\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}hypotenuseadjacent​​.
