Trigon­ometric Functions

*adjacent and opposite labels can change depending on the angle being found

Pythagoras Theorem

c2 = a2 + b2
c = √a2 + b2
a2 = c2 - b2
a = √c2 - b2
b2 = c2 - a2
b = √c2 - a2
c is the hypotenuse whereas a and b can be switched interc­han­geably

Pythagoras in 3 Dimensions

The Pythag­orean Theorem can also be used in three dimensions to find the diagonal length of a rectan­gular prism
d = √x2 + y2 + z2

Finding right angles in general shapes

Scale Factor

Scale factor is the ratio between the scale of a given original object and a new object, which is its repres­ent­ation but of a different size (bigger or smaller).
sf = larger figure dimensions ÷ smaller figure dimensions
