1) The document discusses trigonometric ratios and their values for specific angles like 0°, 45°, 90°, and 300°. It defines trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant.
2) Examples of right triangles are used to derive the trigonometric ratios of angles like sin(45°)=1/√2 and tan(300°)=√3.
3) The key properties of trigonometric ratios at limit angles like sin(0°)=0 and undefined values like cot(90°) are also explained.
2. The Trigonometry is derived from a Greek
word, trigonon and metron. The word
trigonon means a triangle and the word
metron means measure. Therefore,
trigonometry means the science of
measuring triangles.

4. Let angle XAY = θ be an
acute angle and P be a
point on its terminal side
AY. Draw perpendicular
PM from P on AX .
IN ΔAMP, we have
Sin θ = PM, cos θ = AM
AP AP
and tan θ = PM
AM
5. It is evident from ΔAMP that as
θ becomes smaller and
smaller, line segment PM also
becomes smaller and
smaller; finally when θ
becomes O⁰; the point P will
coincide with M.
Consequently , we have
PM = O and AP=AM
Therefore, sin O⁰ = PM = O
=O
AP AP
cos O⁰=AM =AP = 1
AP AP
6. Therefore,
sin 90⁰ = PM = PM = 1
AP PM
and cos 90⁰ = AM = O = O
AP AP
Thus, we have
sin 90⁰ = 1 and cos 90⁰ =O
Remark:- It is evident from
the above discussion that
tan 90⁰ = PM =O is not
defined . Similarly, sec 90⁰,
cosec 0⁰, cot o⁰ are not
defined .
7. and , tan O⁰ = PM = O =O
AP AP
Thus, we have
sin O⁰ = O, cos O⁰= 1
and tan O⁰ = O
From ΔAMP, it is evident that
as θ
increase, line segment AM
becomes smaller and smaller
and finally when θ becomes 90⁰
the point M will coincide with A.
Consequently, we have
AM =O, AP =PM
8. Considered an equilateral
triangle ABC with each side
of
length 2a. Since each angle of
an equilateral triangle is of
60 ⁰. Therefore, each angle of
ΔABC is of 60⁰. Let AD be
perpendicular from A on BC.
Since the triangle is
equilateral the triangle is
equilateral. Therefore, AD is
the bisector of angle A and
D is the mid-point of BC.
9. Therefore, BD =DC=a and
angle BAD =30⁰
Thus, in ΔABD , angle D is a
right angle, hypotenuse
AB =2a and BD = a.
So, by Pythagoras
theorem, we
Have
AB² = AD² + BD²
(2a)²= AD² = a²
AD²= 4a²- a²
AD =√3a
Trigonometric Ratios of
30⁰:
In right Δ ADB, we have
10. Base =AD = √3a , perpendicular
= BD = a, Hypotenuse = AB = 2a
and angle DAB= 30⁰
sin 30⁰ =BD = a = 1
AB 2a 2
Therefore,
cos 30⁰ = AD = √3a = √3
AB 2a 2
tan 30⁰= BD = a = 1
AD √3a √3
cosec 30⁰ = 1 =2
sin 30⁰
sec 30⁰ = 1 = 2 and cot30⁰ =
√3
cos 30⁰ √3
11. Trigonometry ratios of 60⁰:
In right triangle ADB, we have
Base = BD =a, Perpendicular
=AD= √3a , Hypotenuse =AB
= 2a and angle ABD = 60⁰
Therefore,
Sin 60⁰= AD =√3a = √3,
AB 2a 2
Cos 60⁰ = BD = a = 1
AB 2a 2
Tan 60⁰ = AD = √3a = √3
BD a
Cosec, sec and cot are
opposite of sin, cos, tan
respectively.
12. Consider a right angle
triangle ABC with right at B
such that angle A= 45 °.
Then,
Angle A + Angle B + angle C
=180°
45 ° + 90° + Angle C= 180 °
angle C = 45 °
Therefore, angle A = angle C
Therefore, AB = BC
13. Let AB = BC =a. Then , by
Pythagoras theorem , we
have
AC² = AB² = BC²
AC² =a² +a²
AC² = 2a²
AC =√2a
Thus, in we have triangle
ABC, we have
Angle = 45°, Base = AB =a,
Perpendicular = BC =a,
Hypotenuse = AC =√2a
14. Therefore sin 45= BC = a = 1
AC √2 √2
cos 45° = AB = a = 1
AC √2a √2
tan 45° = BC =a =1 ,
AB a
cosec 45° = 1 = √2
sin 45°
sec 45° = 1 = √2 and
cos 45°
cot 45° = 1 = 1
tan 45°
16. An equation involving trigonometric ratios of an
angle θ (say)is said to be a Trigonometric identity if
it is satisfied for all values of θ for which the given
trigonometric ratios are defined.
For example, cos² θ – 1cos θ = cos θ ( cos θ – 1)
2 2
is a
trigonometric identity, whereas cos θ ( cos θ – 1 ) = 0
2
is an equation.
