Finalé of Trigonometric Limits and the Squeeze Theorem: An Introduction to Calculus

<p>This additional side is equivalent to&nbsp;<strong>tangent of theta.</strong>&nbsp;Why? If we call this side say,&nbsp;<em>Side C,&nbsp;</em>tangent is defined as being the opposing side divided by the ajacent side, so tangent theta must be equal to&nbsp;<em>Side C&nbsp;</em>divided by the ajacent side, which in this case is just 1. Thus,&nbsp;<em>Side C</em>&nbsp;is equivalent to tangent of theta.</p> <p>Notice that we can define three areas enclosed within these triangles:</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*GW-v9wuTeCEUL_36" style="height:796px; width:700px" /></p> <p>This first blue area is equal to sin(theta)/2.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@partialderivative/final%C3%A9-trigonometric-limits-and-the-squeeze-theorem-an-introduction-to-calculus-aaa090cfbb09"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
