13.3.2. The 30°-60°-90° Triangle


In a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg (side opposite the 30° angle) and the length of the longer leg (side opposite the 60° angle) is sqrt(3) times the length of the shorter leg. So, if we consider a 30°-60°-90°  triangle with length of shorter leg equal to 1 unit; longer leg must be equal to sqrt(3) and hypotenuse equal to 2. Using this triangle and SOHCAHTOA, the EXACT VALUES of the six trigonometric ratios for 30° or π/6 and 60° or π/3 are calculated as follows:

cos 30° = sin 60° = sqrt(3) / 2
sec 30° = csc 60° =  2/3 sqrt (3)                  
sin 30° = cos 60° = 1/2
csc 30° = sec 60° = 2                  
tan 30° = cot 60° = sqrt(3) / 3                                      
cot 30° = tan 60° = sqrt(3)

Now, let us use the app to find these values.

Calculate:
1) cos 30°
2) sin 30°
3) tan 30°
4) sec 30°
5) csc 30°
6) cot 30°

Calculator Solutions

Enter each trigonometric ratio as it appears.
Type one ratio per line.
Add degree symbol after typing the angle measure.
Alternatively, activate the DEG unit by tapping the DEG-RAD button on the upper right of the calculator display.
If you want to use π/6 , make sure that the DEG-RAD button is swift to RAD.

Use the app to find the exact value of the following trigonometric ratios:

7) cos 60°
8) sin 60°
9) tan 60°
10) sec 60°
11) csc 60°
12) cot 60°
