TRIGONOMETRIC

Consider a right triangle with ? as one of its acute
angles. The trigonometric ratios are defined as follows .

Note: The symbols we used for these ratios are abbreviations
for their full names: sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant
and cotangent.

THE PYTHAGOREAN
THEOREM

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the
other two sides. In symbol, using the ABC as shown,

Comparing these formulas
for the acute angles A and
B, and making use of the
fact that A and B are
complementary angles
(A+B=900), then
FUNCTIONS OF COMPLIMENTARY
ANGLES
sin B = sin (900 ? A) = cos

cos B = cos (900 ? A) = sin A
tan B = tan (900 ? A) = cot A
cot B = cot (900 ? A) = tan A
sec B = sec (900 ? A) = csc A
csc B = csc (900 ? A) = sec A
The relations may then be expressed by a
single statement: Any function of the
complement of an angle is equal to the co-function
of the angle.
To find the functions of 450, construct a diagonal
in a square of side 1. By Pythagorean Theorem
this diagonal has length of 2 .

To find the functions of 300 and 600, take an
equilateral triangle of side 2 and draw the
bisector of one of the angles. This bisector
divides the equilateral triangle into two
congruent right triangles whose angles are 300
and 600. By Pythagorean Theorem the length of
the altitude is 3 .

terminal side of an angle in standard position.
Determine the exact value of the six
