Trigonometry

Answer

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between the sides and angles of triangles. It helps us measure heights, distances, and slopes using the properties of triangles, p…

Answer

For angle A: • Hypotenuse (AC) - side opposite to the right angle • Opposite side (BC) - side opposite to angle A • Adjacent side (AB) - side next to angle A (not hypotenuse)…

Answer

sin A = Opposite side / Hypotenuse In triangle ABC (right angle at B): sin A = BC/AC This ratio is constant for a given angle A in all similar right triangles.

Answer

cos A = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse In triangle ABC (right angle at B): cos A = AB/AC This ratio remains constant for angle A across all similar right triangles.

Answer

tan A = Opposite side / Adjacent side In triangle ABC (right angle at B): tan A = BC/AB Alternatively: tan A = sin A / cos A…

Answer

The three reciprocal ratios are: • cosec A = 1/sin A = Hypotenuse/Opposite side • sec A = 1/cos A = Hypotenuse/Adjacent side • cot A = 1/tan A = Adjacent side/Opposite side…

Answer

For 45° (from isosceles right triangle): • sin 45° = 1/√2 • cos 45° = 1/√2 • tan 45° = 1 Note: sin 45° = cos 45° because in an isosceles right triangle, opposite and adjacent sides are equal.

Answer

For 30° (from equilateral triangle): • sin 30° = 1/2 • cos 30° = √3/2 • tan 30° = 1/√3 These values come from dividing an equilateral triangle by its altitude.
