Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

Read in the blogs more about the unique learning experience at nubtrek.

User Guide

Welcome to nubtrek.

The content is presented in small-focused learning units to enable you to
think,
figure-out, &
learn.

Just keep tapping (or clicking) on the content to continue in the trail and learn.

User Guide

To make best use of nubtrek, understand what is available.

nubtrek is designed to explain mathematics and science for young readers. Every topic consists of four sections.

nub,

trek,

jogger,

exercise.

User Guide

nub is the simple explanation of the concept.

This captures the small-core of concept in simple-plain English. The objective is to make the learner to think about.

User Guide

trek is the step by step exploration of the concept.

Trekking is bit hard, requiring one to sweat and exert. The benefits of taking the steps are awesome. In the trek, concepts are explained with exploratory questions and your thinking process is honed step by step.

User Guide

jogger provides the complete mathematical definition of the concepts.

This captures the essence of learning and helps one to review at a later point. The reference is available in pdf document too. This is designed to be viewed in a smart-phone screen.

User Guide

exercise provides practice problems to become fluent in the concepts.

This part does not have much content as of now. Over time, when resources are available, this section will have curated and exam-prep focused questions to test your knowledge.

### Trigonometric Ratios for Standard Angles

Voice

Home

Standard Angles

»  0 : minimum possible angle
→  opposite side is 0

»  90 : Maximum possible angle
→  opposite side equals hypotenuse

»  45 : isosceles right-triangle
→  opposite and adjacent sides equal

»  30 and 60 : Derived from equilateral triangle
→  one side is half of hypotenuse

The standard angles for which the trigonometric ratios are in the form of simple ratios, are derived from equilateral, isosceles, and 0^@ triangles. Use the known properties of these triangles to compute the trigonometric functions.

What is the value of sin 1^@? Can you memorize trigonometric ratios for all angles?

• 0.0175
• 0.0157
• one cannot memorize all values of sin theta.

The answer is 'one cannot memorize all values of sin theta'.

For which angles can students work out values of trigonometric ratios sin, cos, and tan?

• for the angles for which the ratio between two sides of triangles can be computed using only given angle.
• For none

The answer is 'for the angles for which the ratio between two sides of triangles can be computed using only given angle'

In which of the following, can the ratio between two sides of triangles be computed?

• equilateral triangles
• isosceles triangles
• triangles with one angle 0^@
• all the above

The answer is 'all the above'

The equilateral triangle is split into two right angled triangles as shown in the figure. The hypotenuse bar(OP) = 1. Then the side bar(OQ) = 1/2. The other side is to be computed using Pythagoras Theorem. What standard angles can be derived from equilateral triangles?

• 60^@
• 30^@
• both the above

The answer is 'both the above'

The two sides of the isosceles right angled triangle are same and the hypotenuse is 1. What standard angles can be derived from isosceles right-angled-triangles?

• 0^@
• 45^@
• 90^@

The answer is '45^@'

The figure shows a triangle Delta OPQ with /_P = 0^@. Imagine the bar(PR) moves towards bar(PO) and forms the triangle where point R meets point O. What standard angles can be derived from a right-angled triangle with one of the angles 0^@?

• 0^@
• 90^@
• both the above

The answer is 'both the above'

What does 'standard' mean?

• common and established as norm
• special and distinctively specified

Answer is 'common and established as norm'
