activity 1: Who Am I?
He was a Greek Mathematician who produced the first

trigonometric table and solved problems of spherical
trigonometry. He is also known as the “Father of
Trigonometry”. Who is he?
To find out who is this mathematician, find the values

of the trigonometric ratios. Match column A to column
B, then plot your answers in the box provided below.
Answer: HIPPARCHUS
Trigonometric Ratios of Special Angles
What is your own definition of special? Or do you

have an object or a person you consider very
special to you?
What are trigonometric special angles?
There are specific angles that provide simple

and exact trigonometric values. These specific
angles are known as trigonometric special
angles. These are 30°, 45°, and 60°.
Special Right Triangles
1. 45o – 45o – 90o triangle — also known as

isosceles triangle — is a special triangle
with the angles 45o, 45o, and 90o.
2. 30o – 60o – 90o triangle is another

special triangle with the angles 30o, 60o,
and 90o.
How to solve trigonometric special angles?
case 1
Special angle 45o (from a 45o – 45o – 90o triangle)
case 1
Note:
• The Ratio of the side lengths is 1:1:
• If two sides of the triangle are equal,
then the angles opposite those sides
are also equal.
• BA = hypotenuse
• Hypotenuse = leg times √2
case 1
Let’s take:
a= 1
b= 1
We can simply determine the hypotenuse using
Pythagorean theorem.

=+
=2
c=
case 1
When m∠ A = 45°
sin 45° = = x = =
cos 45° = = x = =
tan 45° = = or 1
case 1
When m∠ A = 45°
csc 45° = = or
sec 45° = = or
cot 45° = = or 1
case 2
Special angle 30°-60°-90°
(from a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle)
case 2
Based in the figure, ∆ABD ≈ ∆CBD, ∠BDA is
a right triangle, m∠A= 60° and m∠ABD =
30°.
Take note:
BD = longer leg
Hypotenuse = 2 times shorter leg
Longer leg = shorter leg times √3
The Ratio of the side lengths is 1::2
case 2
We can determine the height h of these
triangles by the Pythagorean theorem.
= +
= -
Substitute (BD) = h, AB = 2 and AD= 1 in the
formula.
= -
=3
h=
case 2
When m∠ A = 30°
sin 30° = =
cos 30° = =
tan 30° = = x = =
case 2
When m∠ A = 30°
csc 30° = = or 2
sec 30° = = x = =
cot 30° = = or
case 2
When m∠ A = 60°
sin 60° = =
cos 60° = =
tan 60° = = or
case 2
When m∠ A = 60°
csc 60° = = x = =
sec 60° = = or 2
cot 60° = = x = =
case 2
When m∠ A = 60°
csc 30° = = or 2
sec 30° = = x = =
cot 30° = = or
Table for the Values of Trigonometric Ratio
Example
Find the exact value of the following trigonometric expression without
using a calculator.
tan 30°– cot 60°+ tan 45°

Example
using a calculator.
tan 30°– cot 60°+ tan 45°
Solution:
Using the table, substitute tan 30°= , cot 60°= , tan 45° = 1
= - +1
=0+1
=1
Thus, tan 30°– cot 60°+ tan 45° = 1.
Example
using a calculator.
2 cos 60° + 2 csc 30° + sec 60° - sin 30°

Example
using a calculator.
2 cos 60° + 2 csc 30° + sec 60° - sin 30°
= 2 () + 2 (2) + 2 -
=1+4+2-
=6
Thus, 2 cos 60° + 2 csc 30° + sec 60° - sin 30° = 6

TRY
using a calculator.
245° sin 30° - 60° 45°

TRY
using a calculator.
245° sin 30° - 60° 45°
= 2 () -
= 2 () () - 2 (3)
= -6
=
