Revision notes
Solve right and non-right triangles in G2 Mathematics, checking sine-rule alternatives, bearings and three-dimensional projections.
Key ideas
- Pythagoras and its converse
Use the side opposite a right angle and test whether three lengths form a right triangle.
- Right-triangle sine, cosine and tangent
Name sides relative to the chosen acute angle and choose a ratio using the available quantities.
- Sine rule, cosine rule and triangle area
Choose a rule from the given sides and included angles, and check ambiguous sine-rule solutions.
- Bearings and three-dimensional triangles
Draw the relevant plane triangle and keep horizontal projections distinct from sloping lengths.
From the G2 Mathematics 2027 syllabus
- Use of Pythagoras’ theorem
- Determining whether a triangle is right-angled given the lengths of three sides
- Use of trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine and tangent) of acute angles to calculate unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles
- Extending sine and cosine to obtuse angles
- Use of the formula ½ab sin C for the area of a triangle
- Use of sine rule and cosine rule for any triangle
- Problems in two and three dimensions including those involving angles of elevation and depression and bearings Sine/cosine rules and two-/three-dimensional problems (including elevation, depression and bearings) are tested only in Paper 2 Section B.
