Topics in Introduction To Trigonometry

1

Basic Trigonometric Ratios

  • Trigonometric ratios are defined only for acute angles in right-angled triangles
  • The value of a t-ratio depends only on the angle, not the size of the triangle
  • Six basic ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot
2

Finding Trigonometric Ratios from Given Information

  • When two sides are given: use Pythagoras to find third side, then apply definitions
  • When one ratio is given: assume proportional sides, find all sides, then calculate other ratios
  • Always verify your answer using fundamental identities
3

Fundamental Trigonometric Identities

  • Three fundamental identities form the backbone of trigonometry
  • Identities are true for all values of the angle
  • Used to prove other trigonometric relationships
4

Complementary Angle Relationships

  • Two angles are complementary if their sum is 90°
  • Important relationship: sin θ = cos(90° - θ)
  • Co-function identities relate different trigonometric functions

Key Concepts

Central concept: Trigonometry is the study of relationships between sides and angles in right-angled triangles, with six fundamental ratios that help solve real-world problems involving heights, distances, and angles.
