Reference Angles (must be between 0° and 90°)
1)find which quadrant angle is in
2)determine the sign in that quadrant (+ve or -ve)
3)subtract 180° until the angle is between 0° and 90° (0 and π/2)

1)find the reference angle using chart or calculator
2)find what quadrant you need to be in based on the sign of the value
3)use notes to move to that quadrant
To Move:
I to IV = make negative and add 360°
I to III = add 180°
I to II = make negative and add 180°
II to IV = add 180°

Unit Circle

sin theta = y/r

cos theta = x/r

tan theta = y/x

csc theta = r/x

sec theta = x/y

cot theta = x/y

r=sqrtx^2+y^2

AREA OF A NON-RIGHT TRIANGLE
A=1/2(leg)(leg)sin(angle between)

RIGHT TRIANGLES

• hypotenuse opposite angle
• a=1/2bh
• SOHCAHTOA

sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse
cos theta=adjacent/hypotenuse
tan theta=opposite/adjacent

LAW OF SINES
sinA/a sinB/b sinC/c

• used when you know pairs in a non-right triangle
• you are setting up proportions

Right Triangles

• A=1/2bh
• SOHCAHTOA
• sinΘ=opposite leg/hypotenuse
• cosΘ=adjacent leg/hypotenuse
• tanΘ=opposite leg/adjacent leg

Law of Cosines
(opposite leg)²=(adjacent leg)² + (other leg)² - 2(adjacent leg)(adjacent leg)cos°
EG: x, 5, 6 angle = 35°
x²=5²+6²-2(5)(6)cos35°
x=√(5²+6²-2(5)(6)cos35°)
x≈3.443
