Topics in Trigonometric Tables

1

Angle Measurement in Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds

  • 1 degree can be divided into 60 minutes.
  • 1 minute can be further divided into 60 seconds.
  • Degree, minute, and second notation is used to write angles more precisely.
2

Structure of the Trigonometric Table

  • Trigonometric tables give approximate values of sine, cosine, and tangent for angles between 0° and 90°.
  • The values are correct up to four places of decimals.
  • Each trigonometric table is divided into 12 columns.
3

Using Mean Differences

  • The mean difference is added when the function value increases as θ increases.
  • The mean difference is subtracted when the function value decreases as θ increases.
  • Sine, secant, and tangent increase with θ, so their mean difference is added.
4

Important Facts to Remember

  • The first column on the left contains degrees from 0° to 90°.
  • The table has ten minute columns.
  • The minute columns are headed by 0', 6', 12', 18', 24', 36', 42', 48', and 54'.
