    Rishabh Malhotra
    This document provides an introduction to trigonometry. It defines trigonometry as the study of how the sides and angles of a triangle are related. It defines the six trigonometric functions - sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent - in terms of ratios between the sides of a right triangle. It also provides some identities relating the trig functions, such as the sine of 60 degrees equals the cosine of 30 degrees.

    Introduction

    to Trigonometry
    What is Trigonometry?
     Trigonometry is the study of how the
    sides and angles of a triangle are
    related to each other.

    It's all about triangles!



    Right Triangle

    Hypotenuse
    Opposite

    A
    Adjacent
    Trig Definitions:
    Sine = opposite/hypotenuse
    Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
    Tangent = opposite/adjacent
    Cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
    Secant = hypotenuse/adjacent
    Cotangent = adjacent/opposite
    A Way To Remember

    Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

    Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
     A Huge
    Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

    Definitions of Trig Functions
    Sin O= y / r
    Cos =
    O x/r
    Tan =
    O y/x
    Csc =
    O r/y
    Sec =

    Trigonometric Identities
    Trigonometric identities are ratios
    and relationships between certain
    trigonometric functions.

    In the following few slides, you will


    learn about different trigonometric
    identities that take place in each
    trigonometric function.
    Cof
    What is the sine of 60º? 0.866. What is
    If you look at the name of cosine, you
    the cosine of 30º? 0.866.
    can actually see that it

    unc
    is the cofunctionof the sine (co-sine). The cotangent is the
    cofunction of the tangent (co-tangent), and the cosecant is the
    cofunction of the secant (co-secant).
