Chapters

  • Angle of elevation is the angle measured upwards from the horizontal to the line of sight when looking at an object above.
  • Angle of depression is the angle measured downwards from the horizontal to the line of sight when looking at an object below.
  • Both angles are measured with respect to a horizontal line.
  • Right-angled triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA) is fundamental for solving these problems.
Understanding these angles is crucial for solving real-world problems involving heights and distances, such as determining the height of buildings or the distance to an object.
A person standing on the ground looking up at a building (angle of elevation) or a person on top of a building looking down at an object on the ground (angle of depression).
  • The Sine Rule (a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C) is useful when you have at least three given values including two angles and one side, or two sides and one angle opposite one of them.
  • A key condition for using the Sine Rule is having two pieces of information with the same letter (e.g., side 'a' and angle 'A').
  • The Cosine Rule (e.g., a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A) is used when you have two sides and the included angle, or all three sides.
  • It's particularly helpful when no two given values share the same letter, or when you have two sides and the angle between them.
These rules extend trigonometric problem-solving beyond right-angled triangles, allowing you to find unknown sides and angles in any triangle.
Using the Sine Rule to find a missing side when given two angles and one side of a triangle, or using the Cosine Rule to find a missing side when given two sides and the included angle.
  • Accurate diagram drawing is the first and most critical step.
  • Identify right-angled triangles within the diagram to apply trigonometric ratios.
  • Use the Sine Rule or Cosine Rule for non-right-angled triangles if necessary.
  • Often, problems require finding a common side between two triangles or using alternate interior angles (Z-angles) to relate angles of elevation and depression.
This section demonstrates the practical application of trigonometric rules and concepts to solve complex real-world scenarios involving heights and distances.
A problem involving two angles of depression from a hill to the top and base of a tower, requiring the calculation of the tower's height by first finding a common side using the Sine Rule and then using right-angled triangle trigonometry.
  • Sine sum/difference: sin(A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B. The sign in the middle is the same.
  • Cosine sum/difference: cos(A ± B) = cos A cos B ∓ sin A sin B. The sign in the middle is opposite.
  • Tangent sum/difference: tan(A ± B) = (tan A ± tan B) / (1 ∓ tan A tan B). The sign in the middle of the numerator is the same as the original, and the sign in the denominator is opposite.
  • These formulas are used to find the trigonometric values of compound angles by breaking them down into simpler, known angles.
These formulas allow us to calculate trigonometric values for angles that are not standard (like 30°, 45°, 60°) by expressing them as sums or differences of standard angles.
Calculating sin(75°) by using the formula for sin(45° + 30°).
  • Sine double angle: sin(2A) = 2 sin A cos A.
  • Cosine double angle has three forms: cos(2A) = cos² A - sin² A, cos(2A) = 1 - 2 sin² A, and cos(2A) = 2 cos² A - 1.
  • Tangent double angle: tan(2A) = 2 tan A / (1 - tan² A).
  • These formulas simplify trigonometric expressions involving angles that are twice another angle.
Double angle formulas are essential for simplifying complex trigonometric expressions and solving equations where an angle is double another.
Simplifying cos(2x) using one of its three equivalent forms, or expressing sin(2x) in terms of sin(x) and cos(x).
  • Many problems involve simplifying expressions using sum, difference, and double angle formulas.
  • Solving trigonometric equations often requires rearranging terms, using identities to simplify, and then applying inverse trigonometric functions (e.g., arcsin, arccos, arctan).
  • When solving equations like sin(x) = 1/2, remember there can be multiple solutions within a given range, and understanding the unit circle or graph is helpful.
  • For equations involving compound or double angles, substitution or direct application of formulas is key.
  • Graphical calculators or numerical methods (like 'shift solve') can be used to find approximate solutions for complex equations.
This section bridges the gap between knowing formulas and applying them to solve challenging equations, a common task in higher mathematics and physics.
Solving an equation like sin(x)cos(20°) - cos(x)sin(20°) = 1/2 by recognizing it as sin(x - 20°) and then solving for x.
