TRIGONOMETRY The branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles and the calculations based on them, particularly the trigonometric functions. Angle of Depression CONVERSIONS a.) Degree to Radians b.) Radians to Degree

If the object is below the level of the observer, then the angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight

Rotational speed (N) - No. of Revolution per minute Angular speed () - 2 Linear speed (V) - 2 Coupled Wheels ] or Co-terminal Angles

Concentric Wheels

Coterminal angles are angles in standard position (angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis) that have a common terminal side. For example 30, 330 and 390 are all coterminal.

Quadrantal Angles

An angle in standard position with terminal side lying on x-axis or y-axis is called as Quadrantal Angle.

The angle of elevation of an object as seen by an observer is the angle between the horizontal and the line from the object to the observer's eye (the line of sight)

LAW OF SINES

The above identities can be re-stated as: sin2(x) = [1 cos(2x)] cos2(x) = [1 + cos(2x)]
