Introduction to Right Triangle Trigonometry

Learning Objectives

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

  • Use right triangles to evaluate trigonometric functions.
  • Find function values for 30(π6), 45(π4), and 60(π3).
  • 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.
