Sections in Trigonometry

Trig ratios in all four quadrants

Trig Ratios in All Four Quadrants In Grade 10 you learned to define the three basic trigonometric ratios — sine, cosine and tangent — using a right-angled triangle. In Grade 11 we extend these…

Sine rule, cosine rule and area rule

Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and Area Rule Not every triangle contains a right angle. When working with oblique (non-right-angled) triangles, trigonometric ratios alone are not sufficient. We need three…

Two-dimensional trigonometry problems

Two-Dimensional Trigonometry Problems Two-dimensional trigonometry problems involve applying the sine rule, cosine rule and area rule to real-world scenarios. These problems often involve angles of…

Trig graphs (sin, cos, tan) and the effect of p

Trig Graphs (sin, cos, tan) and the Effect of p Trigonometric functions produce periodic graphs — patterns that repeat at regular intervals. Understanding these graphs is essential for electrical…
