I'm now facing a really tough time with trigonometry.I just feel so lost whenever I look at a trigonometry problem.I don't know how to attack the question and which formulas to apply,any help would be appreciated.
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

The same happened with me when I started trying to solve tough trigonometry problems in the summer vacations after passing my eighth grade (I can bet that I felt more lost in trigonometry problems than you). But then I bought SL Loney's Plane trigonometry. I started from the first chapter and things started becoming so clear, and after 3-4 months of hard work on that book, now trigonometry is one of my most favourite topics in geometry. I have quite much mastered that topic. This book is a classic, is excellent for JEE preparation, and even better if you are reading it for some knowledge and self-satisfaction. Believe me, buy it, and you will start to realize the beauty of trigonometry.
