TRIGONOMETRY OF RIGHT TRIANGLES
2
TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS Consider a right triangle with as one of its acute angles. The trigonometric ratios are defined as follows. hypotenuse opposite adjacent sin =cos =tan = cot =csc = sec = Note: The symbols we used for these ratios are abbreviations for their full names: sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent.

RECIPROCAL FUNCTIONS The following gives the reciprocal relation of the six trigonometric functions. sin =cos = tan =cot =csc = sec =
4
THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In symbol, using the ABC as shown, c a b B CA

TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OF SPECIAL ANGLES 45 0, 30 0 AND 60 0 To find the functions of 45 0, construct a diagonal in a square of side 1. By Pythagorean Theorem this diagonal has length of. 45 0 1 1 sin 45 0 =cos 45 0 = tan 45 0 = csc 45 0 =sec 45 0 = cot 45 0 =

To find the functions of 30 0 and 60 0, take an equilateral triangle of side 2 and draw the bisector of one of the angles. This bisector divides the equilateral triangle into two congruent right triangles whose angles are 30 0 and 60 0. By Pythagorean Theorem the length of the altitude is. 30 0 60 0 1 2
