👉 Learn how to solve the word problems with trigonometry. Word problems involving angles, including but not limited to: bearings, angle of elevations and depressions, triangles problems etc are solved using trigonometry. To be able to solve these problems it is important that you have a grasp of the major trigonometric identities, the Pythagoras rule, the sine rule and the cosine rule.

Just like every word problem, the key to solving a trigonometric word problem is understanding the problem, then represent the information in the problem geometrically (with a diagram). This will give you the full view of the known and the unknown information and also provides you with the best approach to solving the problem.
