Trigonometry basics practice

Trigonometry links angles and side lengths in right-angled triangles. SOH CAH TOA is the starting point for much of higher maths and physics.

Number Quest's trig questions practise exact values and working out sin, cos and tan from the sides of a right triangle.

  1. 1. Trig basicsA right triangle has opposite 6, adjacent 8 and hypotenuse 10. What is tan θ?3/54/34/53/4

    Answer: 3/4. tan θ = 6/8 = 3/4.

  2. 2. Trig basicsA right triangle has opposite 3, adjacent 4 and hypotenuse 5. What is tan θ?3/44/33/54/5

    Answer: 3/4. tan θ = 3/4 = 3/4.

  3. 3. Trig basicsWhat is tan(0°)?√3/21/201

    Answer: 0. tan(0°) = 0.

Tips for parents and teachers

  • Label opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse first.
  • Remember SOH CAH TOA.
  • Practise the exact values often.
