Online Review of Trigonomerty Lesson One
This lesson shows the deriviation of the cosine, sine and ttangent for the 30, 45 and 60 degree angles. The 45 degree values are obtained from the geometry of a square and the 30 and 60 degree values are determined from the geometry of an equalateral triangle.
Once you know how to determine the sine, cosine and tangent values for 30, 45 and 60 degrees, you can use the double angle trigonometric identities to find the cosine, sine and tangent values for a multitiude of angles. All without the use of a calculator!!

Congruent and Similar Triangles
Equalateral Triangle: Prove that the two triangles (ABC and CDB) contruscted within am equalateral triangle are congruent. The line CD bisects line AB.
When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, all angles formed that are greater than 90 degrees have the same measure and all angles formed that less than 90 degrees have the same measure (congruent).
Complimentary angles in a triangle add to 90 degrees.
Proving a triangle within a triangle are similar to each other requires that you use the fact that corresponding angles of two parallel lines cut by a transversal are equal (the smaller angles).
