1. Basic Trigonometric Ratios
• sinθ = Opposite/Hypotenuse
• cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
• tanθ = Opposite/Adjacent = sinθ/cosθ
• cosecθ = 1/sinθ, secθ = 1/cosθ, cotθ = 1/tanθ
2. Trigonometric Identities
• sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
• 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ
• 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ
3. Standard Angles
• sin0=0, sin30=1/2, sin45=√2/2, sin60=√3/2, sin90=1
• cos0=1, cos30=√3/2, cos45=√2/2, cos60=1/2, cos90=0
• tan0=0, tan30=1/√3, tan45=1, tan60=√3, tan90=∞
4. Trigonometric Formulas
• sin(A±B) = sinA cosB ± cosA sinB
• cos(A±B) = cosA cosB ■ sinA sinB
• tan(A±B) = (tanA ± tanB)/(1 ■ tanA tanB)
• Double angle: sin2A=2sinAcosA, cos2A=cos²A−sin²A, tan2A=2tanA/(1−tan²A)
• Half angle: sin²(A/2)=(1−cosA)/2, cos²(A/2)=(1+cosA)/2
