Trigonometry Practice Sheet

Introduction

Trigonometry is an important branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between angles and sides of triangles. It is used in many areas of mathematics, engineering, and science. This practice sheet will help you understand the basics of trigonometry and give you an opportunity to practice solving problems.

Basic Trigonometry

Angles

An angle is a measure of rotation. The most common unit of measure for angles is degrees.

A right angle is an angle with a measure of 90°.

An acute angle is an angle with a measure of less than 90°.

An obtuse angle is an angle with a measure of more than 90°.

Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometric ratios are ratios of two sides of a right triangle.

The three main trigonometric ratios are:

  • sine (sin): the ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the hypotenuse
  • cosine (cos): the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to an angle to the length of the hypotenuse
  • tangent (tan): the ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle

Solving Right Triangles

To solve a right triangle, you will need to know either two sides or one side and one angle.

If you know two sides, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side.

If you know one side and one angle, you can use the trigonometric ratios to find the other sides.
