Practice and Revision - Trigonometrical Ratios of Standard Angles
Let us practise and revise what we learned about trigonometrical ratios of standard angles. Standard angles like 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°
Core concept
sin 0°=0, sin 30°=1/2, sin 45°=√2/2, sin 60°=√3/2, sin 90°=1, showing a clear pattern for common angles.
How it works
cos values mirror sin values in reverse order: cos 0°=1, cos 30°=√3/2, cos 45°=√2/2, cos 60°=1/2, cos 90°=0.
Why it matters
tan values are calculated as sin/cos: tan 0°=0, tan 30°=1/√3, tan 45°=1, tan 60°=√3, and tan 90° is undefined.
Key detail
Memorising these standard values speeds up solving trigonometry problems without needing a calculator for common angles.
