Topics in Introduction to Trigonometry
Trigonometric Ratios - Definitions and Basic Concepts
- In a right triangle ABC with angle A, opposite side is BC, adjacent side is AB, and hypotenuse is AC
- Six trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent
- Reciprocal relationships: cosec A = 1/sin A, sec A = 1/cos A, cot A = 1/tan A
Trigonometric Ratios of Standard Angles
- Standard angles: 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°
- For 45°: Use isosceles right triangle with equal sides
- For 30° and 60°: Use equilateral triangle divided by altitude
Problem Solving with Trigonometric Ratios
- Identify the given information: sides, angles, or ratios
- Choose appropriate trigonometric ratio based on given and required information
- Use Pythagoras theorem when needed to find unknown sides
Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
- Three fundamental identities derived from Pythagoras theorem
- sin² A + cos² A = 1 (most important and frequently used)
- 1 + tan² A = sec² A (valid for A ≠ 90°)
