Trigonometry Identities - Sum/Difference Identity True/False (Degrees)

Level 1

This math topic focuses on the evaluation of trigonometric sum and difference identities specifically using degrees. Students are asked to determine whether given trigonometric identities are true or false. The identities involve the functions tangent, sine, and cosine, combining different angles through addition or subtraction. Each problem presents a trigonometric equation and offers two answer choices: "Yes" (the identity is correct) or "No" (the identity is incorrect). This set of problems helps in reinforcing students' understanding of the properties and transformations of trigonometric functions.
