Anyone taking higher levels of mathematics will encounter these reciprocal trigonometric functions.\r\n\r\nUsing the Pythagorean theorem for 30\u00b0, 45\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 right angle triangles, you can get the exact values of the trigonometric relationship (and the reciprocal values). It is standard to see exams where students are required to draw these 30\u00b0, 45\u00b0 and 60\u00b0 right angle triangles and use the side lengths to generate exact values.\r\n<h1>Standard Reference Angles<\/h1>\r\n[latex]\\begin{array}{lll}\r\n\\text{sin }30^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{1}{2}\\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{sin }45^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}\\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{sin }60^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{\\sqrt{3}}{2} \\\\ \\\\\r\n\\text{cos }30^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{\\sqrt{3}}{2}\\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{cos }45^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}\\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{cos }60^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{1}{2} \\\\ \\\\\r\n\\text{tan }30^{\\circ}=\\dfrac{1}{\\sqrt{3}}\\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{tan }45^{\\circ}=1 \\hspace{1in}&amp;\\text{tan }60^{\\circ}=\\sqrt{3}\r\n\\end{array}[\/latex]\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/intermediatealgebraberg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/304\/2022\/11\/chapter-11.7_image-4.jpg\" alt=\"3 triangles:,1. 30 degree and square root 3; 2. 45 degrees adn square root 2; 3 60 degrees and square root 3\" width=\"786\" height=\"191\" \/>\r\n\r\nAnother common sight is to see trigonometric tables being used for approximations of the trig ratios of standard angles from 1\u00b0 to 90\u00b0. For these tables, choose the value that lines up the trigonometric function you wish to use with the angle that you are using.
