CHAPTER NO: 12
TRIGONOMETRY & TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES
Trigonometry has been derived form Greek words: Trei (three), Goni
(angles) and Metron (measurement).
It is measurement of triangle.
FUNDAMENTALS OF TRIGONOMETRY

TRIGONOMETRY: Trigonometry, branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships


between the sides and angles of triangles and with the properties and applications of the
trigonometric functions of angles. The two branches of trigonometry are plane trigonometry, which
deals with figures lying wholly in a single plane, and spherical trigonometry, which deals with triangles
that are sections of the surface of a sphere. The earliest applications of trigonometry were in the
fields of navigation, surveying, and astronomy, in which the main problem generally was to determine
an inaccessible distance, such as the distance between the earth and the moon, or of a distance that
could not be measured directly, such as the distance across a large lake. Other applications of
trigonometry are found in physics, chemistry, and almost all branches of engineering.

Angle:
Two rays with a common starting point form an angle.
OR Union of two rays at a point.
 Common point is called point of intersection or vertex.
 Rays are called initial arm/side and terminal arm/side.
B

Angle

 Unknown angle is denoted by 𝜽’ , ∝ or x° etc.


O A

 An angle is said to be positive, if the rotation is anti clock wise


(counter clock wise). Or terminal side of angle turns anti –clock
wise.
B

O 𝜽
A Initial arm
 An angle is said to be negative , if the rotation is clock wise. Or
terminal side of angle turns clock wise.

 ACUTE ANGLE: It is less then 90° (or)


below the x-axis is angle of depression.

Angle between 0° and 90° . or The terminal side of an
angle rotates anti clock wise and lies in the first quadrant .

* RIGHT ANGLE: = 90° (The terminal side of an angle rotates anti clock wise
and lies on positive y. axis ) .
 OBTUSE ANGLE: It is greater than 90° and less than 180° (or)
90 < 𝜽 < 180 or (The terminal side of an angle rotates anti clock wise and
lies in the second quadrant ).
°

 REFLEX OR REFLEXIVE ANGLE: Between 180° and 360°.


180° < 𝜽 <360°

 Straight line is equal to 180° or called half rotation or semi circle.


(Or) Below the x – axis

 COMPLETE ANGLE: angle which is equal to360° or 2 radians or one


circle or one rotation or one revolution.
TYPES OF TRIANGLE: Triangle is the first type of polygon.
(i) Scalene/Different sided triangle:
Each side is different in measurement, so each angle is different .
(ii) Isosceles Triangle:
Two sides are equal/ congruent.
 If two sides of a triangle are equal then their opposite angles are
also equal .
(iii) Equilateral triangle:
All sides of a triangle are equal / congruent .

also equal . Each angle = 60°


 If all sides of a triangle are equal then opposite angles of sides are

If each angle is acute means less than 90°.


(iv) Acute angled triangle:

 Equilateral is also acute angled triangle.

If one angle is 90° and others two are acute.


(v) Right angled triangle:

 It may be isosceles triangle.

If one angle is greater than 90° and others are acute.


(vi) Obtuse angled triangle:

 Sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°


Unit/ measurement of an angle:
An angle is measured commonly in degrees and radians.
TWO SYSTEMS:
(i) SEXAGESIMAL SYSTEM:
 Involving the number 60.
 Angular measurement of angles in which one complete turn is
divided into 360 parts . Each part is called degree, the degree is

 Sexagesimal is also called D° M ' S ¿ rule.

 This Sexagesimal system is also known as English System, because
this system of angles owes its origin to the English and 90, 60
multiple of 6 and 10.
(ii) CIRCULAR SYSTEM:
It is radian system.
Radian is the measure of an angle, subtended at the centre of the
circle by an arc, whose length is equal to the radius of the circle.
In given figure.

∵ radius = arc length
radius

RELATION BETWEEN RADIAN AND DEGREE MEASUREMENT:


In any circle of radius ‘r’ units, a central angle of one radian
intercepts an arc of length ‘s’ , thus an arc length is directly proportional
to the measure of its central angle.
