Trigonometry Basics

  • Trigonometry is the mathematics of angles in triangles, studying relationships between side lengths and angles.
  • The three trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent (sin, cos, tan).
  • These functions are ratios of side lengths in right-angled triangles.
  • SOHCAHTOA is a mnemonic to remember the ratios: Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tan = Opposite/Adjacent.
  • Trigonometry (like Pythagoras) can only be used in right-angled triangles.
  • Ensure your calculator is set to degrees (D or Deg on screen).

Labelling Sides of a Right-Angled Triangle

  • Label the sides relative to a chosen angle θ: Hypotenuse (H) – longest side, opposite the right angle.
  • Opposite (O) – side directly opposite angle θ.
  • Adjacent (A) – side next to angle θ (not the hypotenuse).
  • H is always the same; O and A change depending on which angle is θ.

Finding Missing Lengths Using SOHCAHTOA

  • Step 1: Label the sides as H, O, A relative to the given angle.
  • Step 2: Identify which ratio to use: given two sides, find the two letters in SOHCAHTOA (e.g., O and A → tan).
  • Step 3: Substitute values into the formula: e.g., tan(θ) = O/A.
  • Step 4: Rearrange to solve for the unknown side (multiply or divide).
  • Step 5: Type into calculator and round to 3 significant figures unless otherwise stated.
  • Example: If tan(43°) = x/9, then x = 9 × tan(43°) = 8.39 cm (3 s.f.).

Finding Missing Angles Using SOHCAHTOA

  • Step 1: Label sides as H, O, A relative to the unknown angle.
  • Step 2: Identify the ratio using the two given side letters (e.g., A and H → cos).
  • Step 3: Write the ratio as a fraction: cos(θ) = A/H.
  • Step 4: Use the inverse trigonometric function (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹) – press SHIFT on calculator.
  • Step 5: Calculate and round to 1 decimal place unless otherwise stated.
  • Example: If cos(y) = 8/23, then y = cos⁻¹(8/23) = 69.6° (1 d.p.).

Common Exam Tips

  • Always label the triangle first before applying SOHCAHTOA.
  • Write down the ratio you are using to avoid mistakes.
  • For lengths, round to 3 significant figures; for angles, round to 1 decimal place.
  • Check your calculator mode: it must be in degrees.
  • SOHCAHTOA only works in right-angled triangles – do not use it for non-right triangles.
