Contributed by: Costello
  • 1. What are trigonometric identities?
A) Equations that define the side lengths of a right triangle.
B) Calculations used exclusively for finding the area of a circle.
C) Formulas that only apply to angles in the first quadrant.
D) Equalities involving trigonometric functions that are true for every value of the occurring variables for which both sides are defined.
