Trigonometry Value Speed Recall
Remember all standard angle values using finger trick + pattern
Steps
- 1Write √0/2, √1/2, √2/2, √3/2, √4/2
- 2sin 0°=0, 30°=½, 45°=1/√2, 60°=√3/2, 90°=1
- 3cos is the reverse of sin
- 4tan = sin/cos → derive instantly
Example
sin60° = √3/2, cos60° = 1/2, tan60° = √3
AP/GP Sum Shortcuts
Use known formulas as speed tools, not just theory
Steps
- 1AP sum: n/2 × (first + last)
- 2For 1+2+...+100: 100/2 × 101 = 5050
- 3GP sum: a(rⁿ-1)/(r-1)
- 4Identify series type instantly
Example
Sum(1 to 100) = 5050
Surface Area/Volume Combos
Group related formulas for instant recall
Steps
- 1Cylinder: CSA=2πrh, TSA=2πr(r+h), V=πr²h
- 2Cone: CSA=πrl, TSA=πr(r+l), V=⅓πr²h
- 3Sphere: SA=4πr², V=⅘πr³
- 4l² = r² + h² for cone
Example
Cylinder(r=7,h=10): V = 22/7 × 49 × 10 = 1540 cm³
