Complete Reference: Standard Values, Identities, Laws, and Formulas

1. Right-Angled Triangle Definitions


For an acute angle θ in a right-angled triangle:

sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse csc(θ) = 1 / sin(θ) = Hypotenuse / Opposite


cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse sec(θ) = 1 / cos(θ) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent
tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent cot(θ) = 1 / tan(θ) = Adjacent / Opposite

2. Standard Trigonometric Values Table

Degrees (θ) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

Radians 0 π/6 π/4 π/3 π/2 π 3π / 2 2π

sin θ 0 1/2 √2 / 2 √3 / 2 1 0 -1 0

cos θ 1 √3 / 2 √2 / 2 1/2 0 -1 0 1

tan θ 0 √3 / 3 1 √3 Undefined 0 Undefined 0

csc θ Undefined 2 √2 2√3 / 3 1 Undefined -1 Undefined

sec θ 1 2√3 / 3 √2 2 Undefined -1 Undefined 1

cot θ Undefined √3 1 √3 / 3 0 Undefined 0 Undefined

3. Fundamental Pythagorean Identities

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1 1 + cot²(θ) = csc²(θ)

1 + tan²(θ) = sec²(θ) tan(θ) = sin(θ) / cos(θ), cot(θ) = cos(θ) / sin(θ)

4. Sum and Difference Formulas

sin(A ± B) = sin(A)cos(B) ± cos(A)sin(B) tan(A ± B) = (tan(A) ± tan(B)) / (1 ∓ tan(A)tan(B))


cos(A ± B) = cos(A)cos(B) ∓ sin(A)sin(B)

5. Double-Angle and Half-Angle Formulas

Double-Angle Identities Half-Angle Identities


sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ) sin²(θ/2) = (1 − cos(θ)) / 2
cos(2θ) = cos²(θ) − sin²(θ) = 2cos²(θ) − 1 = 1 − cos²(θ/2) = (1 + cos(θ)) / 2
2sin²(θ) tan²(θ/2) = (1 − cos(θ)) / (1 + cos(θ))
tan(2θ) = 2tan(θ) / (1 − tan²(θ))

6. Product-to-Sum and Sum-to-Product Formulas

Product-to-Sum Sum-to-Product
sin(A)cos(B) = [sin(A+B) + sin(A-B)] / 2 sin(A) + sin(B) = 2sin((A+B)/2)cos((A-B)/2)
cos(A)sin(B) = [sin(A+B) - sin(A-B)] / 2 sin(A) - sin(B) = 2cos((A+B)/2)sin((A-B)/2)
cos(A)cos(B) = [cos(A+B) + cos(A-B)] / 2 cos(A) + cos(B) = 2cos((A+B)/2)cos((A-B)/2)
sin(A)sin(B) = [cos(A-B) - cos(A+B)] / 2 cos(A) - cos(B) = -2sin((A+B)/2)sin((A-B)/2)

7. Laws of Triangles (Non-Right Triangles)

Law of Sines Law of Cosines


a / sin(A) = b / sin(B) = c / sin(C) = 2R a² = b² + c² − 2bc·cos(A)
(where R is the circumradius) b² = a² + c² − 2ac·cos(B)
c² = a² + b² − 2ab·cos(C)

8. Triangle Area Formulas & Co-function Identities

Area of a Triangle Co-function Identities


Area = ½ab sin(C) sin(π/2 − θ) = cos(θ) | cos(π/2 − θ) = sin(θ)
Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] tan(π/2 − θ) = cot(θ) | cot(π/2 − θ) = tan(θ)
(Heron's Formula, where s = (a+b+c)/2) sec(π/2 − θ) = csc(θ) | csc(π/2 − θ) = sec(θ)
