Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Triangles are polygons with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are isosceles, equilateral, scalene and right angled triangles.

Trigonometric identities are equations that uses trigonometric functions to show the relationship between the angles in a right angle triangle and the sides of the right angled triangle.

If θ be an acute angle in a right angled triangle, hyp. is the hypotenuse side of the angle, opp. is the opposite side to the angle and adj. is the adjacent side to the angle, then:

sinθ = opp. / hyp.v; cosθ = adj. / hyp. ; tanθ = opp. / adj.
