The sine and cosine rules, identities, exact values, and solving trigonometric equations.

Trigonometry on this paper goes beyond right-angled triangles to identities and equations.

The rules

For any triangle (sides a,b,ca, b, ca,b,c opposite angles A,B,CA, B, CA,B,C): asin⁡A=bsin⁡B=csin⁡Ca2=b2+c2−2bccos⁡AArea=12absin⁡C\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \qquad a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\cos A \qquad \text{Area} = \tfrac12 ab\sin CsinAa​=sinBb​=sinCc​a2=b2+c2−2bccosAArea=21​absinC
