Angle Formulas
1. The most common angle formulas are for right triangles and trigonometric identities.
2. In a right triangle, the sum of angles is $180^\circ$ and one angle is $90^\circ$. So, if one acute angle is $\theta$, the other acute angle is $90^\circ - \theta$.
3. Basic trigonometric ratios for an angle $\theta$ are:
- Sine: $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- Cosine: $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- Tangent: $\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$
4. Pythagorean identity:
$$\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$$
5. Angle sum and difference formulas:
$$\sin (a \pm b) = \sin a \cos b \pm \cos a \sin b$$
$$\cos (a \pm b) = \cos a \cos b \mp \sin a \sin b$$
6. Double angle formulas:
$$\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$$
$$\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta$$
7. Law of sines for any triangle:
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
8. Law of cosines for any triangle:
$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$$
These formulas help calculate unknown angles or sides depending on the given information in triangles.
