Hello All,

In DS question, if from the given statement(s) it is possible to find
the solution using trigonometry, should it be answered applying trigonometry? I'm not sure if trigonometry is part of ETS quant.

I recently came across one question & also I read somebody's reply using 'sine' on our forum.

Regards,
Vivek

The questions are multiple choice.
You don't give your working, so how will they know ?

If you can use a valid technique to solve a problem quickly and reliably do it !

Sometimes i use the sine rule to answer DS questions. The same applies to construction DS questions. In some DS questions, i imagine using a pair of compasses, a protractor, etc, to determine if scenerios (A or B)given work.

Good ques. Many ppl suggest not to get muddled with trigonometry as all GMAT ques can be ans without using any theorem. However, I always disagreed a bit. Your aim shud be to solve ques as fast as possible and some basic trigonometry goes long way towards solving DS quicker. Needless to say, only stick with some 2-3 basic rules.
