Sample Problem. If a = 1 and b = 1, find sin, cos, and tan of angle A. First find c. c 2 = 1 2 + 1 2 c 2 = 1 + 1. c 2 = 2. Now just take the square root of both sides. Now applying the trig ratios. Hint: Don't forget to rationalize your denominators. For a refresher on this little calculation, go here.
