About This Book
This book will help high school math students at all learning levels understand basic trigonometry. Students will develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to succeed on high school math exams with emphasis on passing high school graduation exams.
Fifteen easy-to-follow lessons break down the material into the basics. In-depth, step-by-step examples and solutions reinforce student learning, while the Math Flash
feature provides useful tips and strategies, including advice on common mistakes to avoid.
Students can take drills and quizzes to test themselves on the subject matter, then review any areas in which they need improvement or additional reinforcement. The book concludes with a final exam, designed to comprehensively test what students have learned.
The Ready, Set, Go! Trigonometry Workbook will help students master the basics of trigonometry—and help them face their next math test—with confidence!
Icons Explained
Icons make navigating through the book easier. The icons, explained below, highlight tips and strategies, where to review a topic, and the drills found at the end of each lesson.
Look for the Math Flash
feature for helpful tips and strategies, including advice on how to avoid common mistakes.
When you see the Let’s Review
icon, you know just where to look for more help with the topic on which you are currently working.
The Test Yourself!
icon, found at the end of every lesson, signals a short drill that reviews the skills you have studied in that lesson.
The information shown with icons throughout will be helpful to you as you prepare to teach. Alert your students to these simple icons, which highlight:
♦ Additional tips and strategies on the topic, including advice to students on how to avoid common math mistakes.
♦ Links to previous lessons for those students who need more background for the current lesson.
♦ Short drills that give you timely feedback on the effectiveness of your lesson to help you gauge your students’ progress.
To the Teacher
As an educator, you understand how important it is for students to master the basic mathematical concepts in a variety of areas. These all-important skills are the building blocks for advanced education. However, all too often, through no fault of their own, some at risk
students fall behind in their learning and development.
With the growing focus on the No Child Left Behind Act, REA designed this workbook based on the Curriculum Focal Points of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. This workbook was created to help students increase their math proficiency and succeed on crucial High Stakes Exams.
The workbook is organized so that students can learn each lesson at their own pace. When they feel confident that they’ve mastered the math skills for one area, they can move on to the next lesson. Easy-to-follow lessons focus exclusively on one math concept and offer numerous examples and detailed solutions to problems. The Math Flash
feature includes problem-solving tips and strategies to help illustrate and reinforce various methods and ideas, while offering advice on how to avoid common mistakes.
This workbook can be utilized in conjunction with lesson plans, stand alone as a single teaching source, or be used in a group-learning environment. The practice quizzes and drills can be given in the classroom as part of the overall curriculum or used for independent study. A cumulative exam at the end of the workbook helps students (and their instructors) gauge their mastery of the subject matter.
We are confident that this workbook will help your students develop the necessary math skills, and build the confidence they need to succeed. As part of our Ready, Set, Go! series, this workbook makes a welcome addition to any remedial math program and can be incorporated into any learning environment.
Use of Calculators: We at REA recommend that, when possible, you permit students to use a calculator to do their work. Of course, you must be guided by your own state standard.

Lesson One
Graphs of Points and Angles
Trigonometry is defined as the branch of mathematics that deals primarily with the relationship that exists between the sides and angles of a triangle. However, you will also discover other applications. In this lesson, you will be introduced to plotting points and the measures of angles on the xy-coordinate system. For this lesson, angle measures will not exceed 360°.
Your Goal: When you have completed this lesson, you should be able to determine the measure of an angle, as well as classify angles into categories. You will also be able to convert angles from one system of measurement to another.
The xy-coordinate system is also known as the rectangular coordinate system or the Cartesian coordinate system. We start with a flat surface, which is known as a plane. Then, we draw two number lines that are perpendicular to each other and that intersect at the number zero. The horizontal line is labeled the x-axis, and the vertical line is labeled the y-axis.
On the x-axis, all positive numbers lie to the right of the intersection point and all negative numbers lie to the left. On the y-axis, all positive numbers lie above the intersection point and all negative numbers lie below. For consistency, the numbers are evenly spaced. Figure 1.1 shows the xy-coordinate system with this information.
Figure 1.1
Even though the only numbers shown for each axis are – 4 through +4, be aware that each axis represents a real number line. This means that these lines include numbers that are less than – 4, greater than +4, as well as fractions, decimals, and square roots.
Notice that the x-axis and y-axis divide the plane into four regions, each of which is called a quadrant. These quadrants are numbered using Roman numerals I, II, III, and IV (instead of 1, 2, 3, and 4). The numbering begins in the upper right quadrant, continues in a counterclockwise direction, and ends in the lower right quadrant. Figure 1.2 illustrates this numbering system.
Figure 1.2
Each point on this plane is assigned a corresponding x value and a corresponding y value, which will be written in the form (x, y). The expression (x, y) is called the ordered pair for the corresponding point. Each of x and y is called a coordinate of the ordered pair. The point where the two axes intersect is labeled (0, 0) and is called the origin.
Suppose point A is located 2 units to the right and 3 units above (0, 0). Then (2, 3) is the ordered pair for point A. Any point in the first quadrant will always be assigned an ordered pair in which each of x and y is positive.
Suppose point B is located 1 unit to the left and 4 units above (0, 0). Then −1, 4) is the ordered pair for point B. Any point in the second quadrant will always be assigned an ordered pair in which x is negative and y is positive.
Suppose point C is located 3 units to the left and 5 units down from (0, 0). Then (3, – 5) is the ordered pair for point C. Any point in the third quadrant will always be assigned an ordered pair in which each of x and y is negative.
Suppose point D is located 4 units to the right and 2 units down from (0, 0). Then (4, – 2) is the ordered pair for point D. Any point in the fourth quadrant will always be assigned an ordered pair in which x is positive and y is negative. Figure 1.3 shows points A, B, C, and D.
Figure 1.3
Now consider point E, which is located 5 units directly to the right of (0, 0). Then (5, 0) is the ordered pair for point E. Notice that E lies on the positive portion of the x-axis. If point F is located 4 units above (0, 0), then its corresponding ordered pair is (0, 4). Notice that F lies on the positive portion of the y-axis.
Similarly, if point G lies 2 units to the left of (0, 0), then its
