I. Basic Facts and Definitions
1. Right angle – angle measuring °90
2. Straight angle – angle measuring °180
3. Acute angle – angle measuring between °0 and °90
4. Complementary angles – two angles whose sum is °90
5. Supplementary angles – two angles whose sum is °180
6. Right triangle – triangle with a right angle
7. Isosceles triangle – a triangle with exactly two sides equal
8. Equilateral triangle – a triangle with all three sides equal
9. The sum of the angles of a triangle is °180 .
10. In general, capital letters refer to angles while small letters refer
to the sides of a triangle. For example, side a is opposite
angle A .
II. Right Triangle Facts and Examples
1. Hypotenuse – the side opposite the right angle, sidec .
2. Pythagorean Theorem - 222
cba =+

2. In a right triangle ABCΔ , if °=∠ 23A , what is the measure of B∠ ?
Solution: The two acute angles in a right triangle are
complementary.
°=∠+∠ 90BA
°=∠+° 9023 B
°=∠ 67B
IV. Similar Triangles:
a. Two triangles are similar if the angles of one triangle are equal to
the corresponding angles of the other. In similar triangles, ratios of
corresponding sides are equal.

All °−°−° 904545 triangles are similar to one
another. Two sides are of equal length and the
hypotenuse is 2 times the length of each of the
equal sides.
All °−°−° 906030 triangles are similar to one
another. The shortest side of length a is opposite
the smallest angle ( °30 ). The hypotenuse is twice
the length of the shortest side. The side opposite
the °60 has a length 3 times the shorter leg.

Problem: Find the lengths of the legs of a °−°−° 906030 triangle if the
hypotenuse is 8 meters.
Solution: 1) If 82 =a , then 4=a meters and 2) 34)4(33 ==a meters.

VII. Converting Minutes and Seconds to Decimal Form
(Necessary for most calculator use in evaluating trig values)
1. To convert from seconds to a decimal part of a minute, divide the
number of seconds by 60.
2. To convert from minutes to a decimal part of a degree, divide the
number of minutes by 60.

VIII. Right Triangle Trigonometry Problems
To Solve Right Triangle Problems:
There are six parts to any triangle; 3 sides and 3 angles. Each trig formula
(ex: sin A = a/c) contains three parts; one acute angle and two sides. If you
know values for two of the three parts then you can solve for the third
unknown part using the following method:
1. Draw a right triangle. Label the known parts with the given values and
indicate the unknown part(s) with letters.
2. To find an unknown part, choose a trig formula which involves the
unknown part and the two known parts.
www.rit.edu/asc Page 8 of 12
Example 1: A right triangle has 38=a and °= 61B . Find the length of side b .
Solution:
(Always check your answer by comparing size of angle and length of side; the
longer side is always opposite the larger angle.)
IX. Angles of Elevation and Depression
Example:
From a point 124 feet from the foot of a tower and on the same level, the angle of
elevation of the tower is 0236 ′° . Find the height of the tower.
Solution:
Angle of elevation
°61
b
38=a B

C
Which trig formulas involve an acute angle (B) and the
side opposite (b) and the side adjacent (a) to the angle?
Since both tangent and cotangent do, either could be
used to solve this problem. We will use tangent.

Complementary angles – two angles whose sum is °90 5. Supplementary angles – two angles whose sum is °180 6. Right triangle – triangle with a right angle 7. Isosceles triangle – a triangle with exactly two sides equal 8. Equilateral triangle – a triangle with all three sides equal 9. The sum of the angles of a triangle is °180 . 10. In general, capital letters refer to angles while small letters refer to the sides of a triangle. For example, side a is opposite angle A . II. Right Triangle Facts and Examples 1. Hypotenuse – the side opposite the right angle, sidec . 2. Pythagorean Theorem - 222 cba =+ 3. A∠ and B∠ are complementary. Right Angle Trigonometry B AC a b c

Right Triangle Trigonometry Problems To Solve Right Triangle Problems: There are six parts to any triangle; 3 sides and 3 angles. Each trig formula (ex: sin A = a/c) contains three parts; one acute angle and two sides. If you know values for two of the three parts then you can solve for the third unknown part using the following method: 1. Draw a right triangle. Label the known parts with the given values and indicate the unknown part(s) with letters. 2. To find an unknown part, choose a trig formula which involves the unknown part and the two known parts.
