Exact Values Fo r Higher you need to be able to calculate some trig values without a calculator. To help us do this we need to learn the following triangles. ***These are not given in the formula sheet!!! 60o 30o 45o 45o 2 1 1 1 √ 3 √ 2 We use basic Trig (SOHCAHTOA) to find any angle above. sin 30 = opp/adj = ½
Associated Angles We can also find angles related to Examples Find sin 135o Step 1: Draw the 4 quads and plot angle. Step 2: Use "SATC" from S4 to determine "+" or "-" Step 3: Head towards the x axis to get related angle 30, 45 and 60o 135o 180 90 270 The angle is in Quad 2 Sine is +ve in quad 2 So the related angle will be +ve 135o 180 45o so Sin 135 = + Sin 45 = 1/√2
