Trigonometry
Trigonometry is derived from Greek words trigonon(three angles) and metron (measure).
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which deals
with triangles, particularly triangles in a plane where one angle of the triangle is 900.
Trigonometry specifically deals with relationships between the sides and the angles of a triangle, i.e. on the trigonometric functions, and with calculations based on these functions.

History
•
•
•
•
The origins of trigonometry can be traced to the ci- vilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and the
Indus Valley, more than 4000 years ago. Some experts believe that trigonometry was originally invented to calculate sundials.
The first recorded use of trigonometry came from the Hellinistic mathematician
Circa in 150 BC.
Many mathemiticians like Aryabhatta, Ibn Yunus and Al-Kashi also contributed significantly.
Right Triangle
•
•
•
A triangle in which one angle is equal to 900 is called a right angled triangle.
The side opposite to the right angle is known as hypotenuse.
AC is the hypotenuse
The other two sides are known as legs or base and altitude
AB and AC are base and altitude
respectively
Pythagoras Theorem
•
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs.
•
In the figure,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Value for Trigonometric Functions for Angle C
•
Sinθ = AB/AC
•
Cosθ = BC/AC
•
Tanθ = AB/BC
•
Cosecθ = AC/AB
•
Secθ = AC/BC
•
Cotθ = AC/AB
