    First time in my life (I'm 25) I have ever understood the concept of trigonometry. Not just I have learnt trigonometry, but I kinda enjoying this whole process. Every bit of new information is keeping my adrenaline moving faster, may be its because i am feeling excited to learn this new world that I was for so long absolutely ignorant of. Thank you Dennis!

    That's so nice to hear, Aaron. One of the disadvantages to teaching online is that you don't get to see the "aha" moments on students' faces, so I'm glad you shared it!

    There is a really general but very simple proof for all compound angle trigonometric identities for cos(a-b), cos(a+b), sin(a-b), sin(a+b), tan(a-b) and tan(a+b) with any positive or negative angles(arguments), not just positive acute angles used in most proofs. Moreover a > b or a b, and - (a - b) when a b, or -(a - b) when a

    Geometrifying Trigonometry I have made a language (parser /compiler/lexical analyser)which takes trigonometry expression as input And Converts that to euclidean geometry Then It searches hidden truths from geometry Automated theorem prover Geometrifying trigonometry Is the formal language which is cross platform communicator Platform 1 is trigonometry ecpression in latex or excel format Platform 2 is euclidean geometry My system is formalized language and framework to do this

    I have a question 🙋 , why at the bottom it is adjacent multiplied by hypotenuse ? Same as for the sinus side . 😞 ( sin multiplied by hypotenuse)

  • @DennisDavisEdu

    8 ай бұрын

    Since cosine equals adjacent over hypotenuse, adjacent = cosine times hypotenuse. See TR-17.

    actually when you realize that the cos and sin of a triangle is a multiple of the hypotenuse and that the second triangles use the previous cos and sin as hypotenuses (plural?) then it becomes very clear.

    It's more work, but in a pinch one could certainly re-create the construction and re-derive the identities. But yes this one might be a case where memorization is easier.

    OK let's label the "bottom" angle at the point you're asking about: gamma. It doesn't have a label in the video. So there are three angles whose vertices are at the point on the right side of the rectangle. Since they sum to a straight angle, the sum of their measures must be 180°: Eq1: Right angle + gamma + the unknown angle = 180° The second triangle we slid in under the first (that includes alpha) has 3 angles. Since they are the interior angles of a triangle, the sum of their measures must be 180°: Eq2: Right angle + gamma + alpha = 180° Now from the two equations above, two expressions having the same sum (180°) must be equal. So Right angle + gamma + unknown angle = Right angle + gamma + alpha. Subtract Right angle + gamma from both sides and that leaves unknown angle = alpha

    The length of the "bottom" side adjacent to α is cosα times the length of the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse's length is cosβ, this makes the length of the "bottom" side cosα times cosβ. It's the same all the way around the square in this proof: Each length is the trig function of the angle (cosine for adjacent, sine for opposite) times the hypotenuse of the triangle. And the hypotenuses are trig functions of β. So the side lengths are trig function of α times trig function of β.
