Learning Objectives
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
- Use right triangles to evaluate trigonometric functions.
- Find function values for [latex]30^\circ \left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)[/latex], [latex]45^\circ \left(\frac{\pi }{4}\right)[/latex], and [latex]60^\circ \left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)[/latex].
- Use right triangle trigonometry to solve applied problems.
In this section, we will see another way to define trigonometric functions using properties of right triangles.
