Key Pythagorean trig identities include sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1, 1 + tan²(θ) = sec²(θ), and 1 + cot²(θ) = csc²(θ). These relationships allow you to convert between trigonometric functions or simplify complicated expressions. For example, if sin(θ) = 3/5, then cos(θ) = √(1 – sin²(θ)) = √(1 – 9/25) = √(16/25) = 4/5. This knowledge extends to verifying trigonometric proofs, analyzing wave functions in physics, or building engineering models that rely on sinusoidal behaviors. Familiarity with Pythagorean identities significantly eases advanced problem-solving in calculus and beyond.
