Similarity

Similarity,In what follows, we’ll see that many—if not most—of our results shall rely on the proportionality of sides in similar triangles. A convenient statement is as follows. Similarity, Given the similar triangles ΔABC ∼ ΔA’BC’,We have that, Conversely, if then triangles ΔABC ∼ ΔA’BC’ are similar. Proof Note first that ΔAA’C’ and ΔCA’C’ clearly have …

Trigonometric Identities

A Trigonometric identity or trig identity is an identity that contains the trigonometric functions sine(sin), cosine(cos), tangent(tan), cotangent(cot), secant(sec), or cosecant(csc). Trigonometric identities can use to: Simplify trigonometric expressions. Solve trigonometric equations. Prove that one trigonometric expression is equivalent to another so that we can replace the first expression by the second expression. The following …
