Trigonometry Introduction Formulas — Class 9 IB MYP

Define trigonometric ratios for right triangles and solve problems involving angles of elevation.

Key Formulas

SOH CAH TOA

\sin = \dfrac{O}{H}, \quad \cos = \dfrac{A}{H}, \quad \tan = \dfrac{O}{A}

Standard Angles

\sin 30° = \dfrac{1}{2}, \quad \cos 45° = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \quad \tan 60° = \sqrt{3}

Finding Angle

\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{O}{H}\right)

Pythagorean Identity

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

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
