Overview

Trigonometry means measurement of triangles. The chapter deals only with right-angled triangles and the relations between their sides and acute angles. A right triangle has one right angle, and the other two angles are acute. For any chosen acute angle, one side is called the perpendicular, one is c

Key Concepts

Trigonometry means measurement of triangles

Trigonometry means measurement of triangles. In this chapter, it is used only for right-angled triangles.

For a chosen acute angle

For a chosen acute angle in a right triangle, the side opposite the angle is the perpendicular, the side adjacent to it is the base, and the side oppo

The six ratios are sine

The six ratios are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. For angle A in triangle ABC, sin A = BC/AC, cos A = AB/AC, tan A = BC/AB, c

The names perpendicular and base change

The names perpendicular and base change when the angle of reference changes. For angle A in triangle ABC, BC is the perpendicular and AB is the base,

Each trigonometric ratio is a real

Each trigonometric ratio is a real number and has no unit.
