PRE
CAL 2 How can the height of a mountain
be measured? What about the
distance from Earth to the sun? Like
many seemingly impossible
PRE
problems, we rely on mathematical
CAL 3
formulas to find the answers. The
trigonometric identities, commonly
PRE used in mathematical proofs, have
CAL 4 had real-world applications for
centuries, including their use in
PRE calculating long distances.

The trigonometric identities we will In this section, we will learn techniques

examine in this section can be traced to a
PRE Persian astronomer who lived around
CAL 3 950 AD, but the ancient Greeks
discovered these same formulas much
earlier and stated them in terms of
chords. These are special equations or
PRE postulates, true for all values input to the
CAL 4 equations, and with innumerable
applications.
that will enable us to solve problems
such as the ones presented above. The
formulas that follow will simplify many
trigonometric expressions and
equations. Keep in mind that,
throughout this section, the term
formula is used synonymously with the
word identity.

Finding the exact value of the sine, cosine,

or tangent of an angle is often easier if we
PRE
CAL 3
can rewrite the given angle in terms of two
angles that have known trigonometric
PRE
values. We can use the special angles,
CAL 4 which we can review in the unit circle
shown below
