Let’s start with an isosceles right-angled triangle with equal sides of 1 cm. These angles are equal and angles in a triangle sum to 180°. 45° 1 cm 45° 1 cm
Let’s start with an isosceles right-angled triangle with equal sides of 1 cm. 45° √2 cm 1 cm By Pythagoras’ Theorem, the hypotenuse is √2. 45° 1 cm
sin 45° = _1_ √2 45° √2 cm 1 cm 45° 1 cm
sin 45° = _1_ √2 45° cos 45° = _1_ √2 √2 cm 1 cm 45° 1 cm
sin 45° = _1_ √2 45° cos 45° = _1_ √2 √2 cm 1 cm tan 45° = 1 = 1 1 45° 1 cm
sin 45° = √2 2 sin 45° = _1_ √2 45° cos 45° = √2 2 cos 45° = _1_ √2 √2 cm 1 cm tan 45° = 1 = 1 1 45° 1 cm Rationalising the denominators gives…
Now let’s look at an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 cm. 60° 2 cm 2 cm 60° 60° 2 cm
By Pythagoras’ Theorem, the height is √3. Now let’s look at an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 cm. 30° 2 cm √3 cm 60° 1 cm
sin 30° = 1 2 30° 2 cm √3 cm 60° 1 cm
sin 30° = 1 2 30° cos 30° = √3 2 2 cm √3 cm 60° 1 cm
sin 30° = 1 2 30° cos 30° = √3 2 2 cm √3 cm tan 30° = _1_ √3 60° 1 cm
Rationalising the denominator gives… sin 30° = 1 2 30° cos 30° = √3 2 2 cm √3 cm tan 30° = √3 3 tan 30° = _1_ √3 60° 1 cm
sin 60° = √3 2 30° 2 cm √3 cm 60° 1 cm
sin 60° = √3 2 30° cos 60° = 1 2 2 cm √3 cm 60° 1 cm
sin 60° = √3 2 30° cos 60° = 1 2 2 cm √3 cm tan 60° = √3 1 60° 1 cm
sin 60° = √3 2 30° cos 60° = 1 2 2 cm √3 cm tan 60° = √3 1 60° 1 cm
