What is TRIG?
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that developed from simple geometry, and surveying.
Trigonometry was probably invented for use in astronomy. The origins of trigonometry can be traced to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, more than 4000 years ago.

Coordinate Systems
Used to describe the position of a point in space
Coordinate system consists of– a fixed reference point called the origin– specific axes with scales and labels– instructions on how to label a point relative to the
origin and the axes

Cartesian coordinate system
Also called rectangular coordinate system
x- and y- axes Points are labeled
(x,y)

Plane polar coordinate system
Origin and reference line are noted
Point is distance r from the origin in the direction of angle , ccw from reference line
Points are labeled (r,)

More Trigonometry
Pythagorean Theorem
To find an angle, you need the inverse trig function– for example,
Be sure your calculator is set appropriately for degrees or radians
