Study Notes
Trigonometry Overview
- Study of triangles and the relationships between their sides and angles is known as trigonometry.
Trigonometric Functions
-
Sine function (sin) represents the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
-
The reciprocal of the sine function is called the cosecant function (csc).
-
Cosine function (cos) represents the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
-
The reciprocal of the tangent function is known as the cotangent function (cot).
-
A crucial trigonometric identity relating sine and cosine functions is sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1 for any angle θ.
