Pythagorean Theorm
Used to find a side length on a right triangle
Pythagorean Theorm Formula
a^2+b^2=c^2
45-45-90
Leg = x
Leg = x
Hypotenuse = x*√2
30-60-90
SL = x
LL = x*√3
Hypotenuse = 2x
Trigonometric Function
A function whose rule is defined by a trigonometric ratio
Trigonometric Ratio
Compares the lengths of two side of the triangle in relationship to one of the acute angles

Angle in Standard Form
When the vertex is on the origin and one ray lies on the positive x-axis
Initial Side
Ray on the x-axis
Terminal Side
The other one
Counterclockwise Rotations
Result in positive angle measures
Clockwise Rotations
Result in negative angle measures
One Full Revolution
360 degrees
Radian
A unit of angle measure based on arc length
One Radian
Defined as the measure of the angle formed when the radius is equivalent to the length of the intercepted arc
