TRIGONOMETRY
INTRODUCTION
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relations between the sides OVERVIEW
and angles of a triangle.
Nowadays, you also can find the trigonometric ratios of any angles by pressing
appropriate buttons on calculator. Until now we have defined the trigonometric function only
for acute angles. However, many application of trigonometry involves angles that are not
acute. Consequently it is necessary to extend the definition of the six trigonometry function
to general angles and you will learn in this topic. Furthermore in this chapter, we will derive
two new formulae, the sine rule and cosine rule to enable us to solve oblique triangle quickly.
We also can calculate the area of triangles of oblique triangles.

ANGLE
The angle can be measured in one of two units which are degree and radian. In trigonometry
radians are the most common. It can have a measure which positive (anticlockwise) or
negative (clockwise).
What is 'radian' ? One radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that is
equal in length to the radius of the circle.
360o = 2π radian
