Trigonometry Applications Formulas — Class 10 IB MYP

Apply sine and cosine rules, solve non-right triangles, and work with trigonometric graphs.

Key Formulas

Sine Rule

\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}

Cosine Rule

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos C

Area of Triangle

A = \dfrac{1}{2}ab\sin C

Bearings

\text{Measured clockwise from North}

Identity

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

tan Identity

\tan\theta = \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}

Worked Examples

1Using: sin 30

Find sin 30 + cos 60.

Step 1: sin 30 = 1/2, cos 60 = 1/2.

Step 2: Sum = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1.

Answer: 1

2Using: tan identity

If tan A = 3/4, find sin A.

Step 1: In right triangle: opposite = 3, adjacent = 4.

Step 2: hypotenuse = 5. sin A = 3/5.

Answer: 3/5
