Mod 2: trigonometry

Cards (5)

  • Tan = sine/cosine
  • Cosec: 1/sin or hypotenuse/opposite
    Secant: 1/cos or hypotenuse/adjacent
    Cotan: 1/tan or adjacent/hypotenuse
  • Sin: opposite/hypotenuse
    Cos: adjacent/hypotenuse
    Tan: opposite/adjacent
  • Ambiguous case in the sine rule: if the sum of the two angles > 180°, then, there is no ambiguious case, simply put in the answer in the calculator. If the sum of two angles < 180°, then, include the obtuse angle as well, which can be found through 180-theta
  • For sine rule: a° + b° > 180°, one sol
    a° + b° < 180°, two sol
