Trigonometric Functions Angle Trigonometry

The document discusses different theorems and conditions for proving triangle congruence, including the hypotenuse-leg theorem, hypotenuse-angle theorem, and side-side-angle condition. It notes that the side-side-angle condition is not sufficient on its own and the triangles must have the same angle measure if one side is longer. The document also mentions that trigonometric functions like sine and cosine can be defined using right triangles and similarity.

Some individually sufficient conditions are:

Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem: The hypotenuse and a leg in a right triangle have the same
length as those in another right triangle. This is also called RHS (right-angle, hypotenuse, side).

Hypotenuse-Angle Theorem: The hypotenuse and an acute angle in one right triangle have
the same length and measure, respectively, as those in the other right triangle. This is just a
particular case of the AAS theorem.

An important condition is:

Side-Side-Angle (or Angle-Side-Side) condition: If two sides and a corresponding non-


included angle of a triangle have the same length and measure, respectively, as those in
another triangle, then this is not sufficient to prove congruence; but if the angle given is opposite
to the longer side of the two sides, then the triangles are congruent. The Hypotenuse-Leg
Theorem is a particular case of this criterion. The Side-Side-Angle condition does not by itself
guarantee that the triangles are congruent because one triangle could be obtuse-angled and the
other acute-angled.

Using right triangles and the concept of similarity, the trigonometric functions sine and cosine can be
defined. These are functions of an angle which are investigated in trigonometry.
