🦉
Pythagoras' Theorem
$$a^2+b^2=c^2$$
🦉
Trigonometric Ratios
$$\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$$
$$\cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
$$\sin\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
TOA CAH SOH
is applicable for only right-angled triangles
🦉
Obtuse Angles
$$\sin(180^\circ-\theta)=\sin\theta$$
$$\cos(180^\circ-\theta)=-\cos\theta$$
🦉
Sine Rule
$$\dfrac{a}{\sin A}=\dfrac{b}{\sin B}$$
🦉
Cosine Rule
$$c^2=a^2+b^2-2 ab \cos C$$
🦉
Area of Triangle
$$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}ab \sin C$$

Bearings
A bearing is a
3-digit positive number
with units of degree to show direction
clockwise
from the north direction.
