    Trigonometric Functions of Acute Angles

    Uploaded by

    Lulzim Lumi
    This document discusses trigonometric functions of acute angles. It defines an acute angle as one whose measure is greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees. It presents the definitions of the six trigonometric ratios - sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant - in terms of the sides of a right triangle. It also provides some history on trigonometry and lists common applications that make use of trigonometric functions, such as calculating the distance to planets and surveying. Finally, it derives some fundamental trigonometric identities and gives the values of the ratios for some common angles.

    History:
    Trigonometric
    functions(also
    called
    circular functions) are functions of an
    angle.
    They are used to relate the angles of a
    triangle to the lengths of the sides of a
    triangle.
    Sumerian astronomers introduced angle
    measure, using a division of circles into 360
    degrees.
    The sine function was first defined in the
    surya siddhanta and its properties were
    further documented by the fifth century Indian
    mathematician and astronomer Aryabhatta.
    By 10th century the six trigonometric functions
    were used.

    Applications:
    In 240 B.C. a mathematician named Eratosthenes
    discovered the radius of the earth as 4212.48 miles
    using trigonometric functions..

    In 2001 a group of European astronomers did


    an experiment by using trigonometric
    functions and they got all the measurement,
    they calculate the Venus was about
    105,000,000 km away from the sun and the
    earth was about 150, 000, 000 km away.
    Optics and statics are 2 early fields of
    Physics that use trigonometry.
    It is also the foundation of the practical art of
    surveying
