If we have two sides and we want to find the third we can use the Pythagorean Theorem a 2+b 2=c 2.

We can use SOHCAHTOA to find a missing angle of a right angled triangle when we have two given sides. We can use SOHCAHTOA to find a missing side of a right angled triangle when we have another side and a given angle.

Right-angled triangles are sometimes called right triangles. If it is showing an ‘R’ it will measure the angle in radians which are not needed until A Level. Make sure your calculator screen is showing a small ‘D’ at the top before using it for trigonometry. Make sure you calculator is in ‘degrees’Īll angles at GCSE are measured in degrees.
