    History

    The word trigonometry comes from the Greek words trigon (triangle) and metria (measurement).


    Originally trigonometry was used as an aid in the study of astronomy.

    Complementary Angles

    • The three angles in any triangle add to 180°.

    • Since one angle in a right-angled triangle measures 90°, the other two angles must add to 90° to make up the 180°.

    • The two acute angles in any right-angled triangle are complementary angles (ie add to 90°).
