Trigonometry
introduction
• Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics
that deals with the relationships between
the angles and sides of triangles, as well
as the trigonometric functions derived
from these relationships. It explores the
properties and behavior of triangles,
particularly right triangles, and how they
relate to circles and periodic phenomena.
Basics of
trigonometry
• Sine (sin): In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is defined as the
ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the
hypotenuse. Mathematically, for an angle θ in a right triangle:
• sin(θ)=opposite sidehypotenusesin(θ)/hypotenuseopposite side
• Cosine (cos): In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is defined as
the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle to the length
of the hypotenuse. Mathematically, for an angle θ in a right triangle:
• cos(θ)=adjacent sidehypotenusecos(θ)/hypotenuseadjacent side
• Tangent (tan): In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is defined
as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the
length of the side adjacent to the angle. Mathematically, for an
angle θ in a right triangle:
• tan(θ)=opposite sideadjacent sidetan(θ)/adjacent sideopposite side
