Trigonometry
Formulas
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the
relationships between the angles and sides of triangles. This
presentation covers the essential formulas and identities used in
trigonometry for class 10 students.
Basic Trigonometric Ratios
Sine, Cosine, Tangent
In a right triangle, sine (sin) is the ratio of the opposite side to
the hypotenuse, cosine (cos) is the ratio of the adjacent side to
the hypotenuse, and tangent (tan) is the ratio of the opposite
side to the adjacent side.
Reciprocal Functions
The reciprocal of sine is cosecant (csc), cosine is secant (sec),
and tangent is cotangent (cot). These are defined as csc =
1/sin, sec = 1/cos, and cot = 1/tan.
Unit Circle Approach
The unit circle provides a way to define trigonometric functions
for all angles. The coordinates of a point on the unit circle
correspond to (cos θ, sin θ) for an angle θ from the positive x-
Trigonometric Identities
Trigonometric identities are essential for simplifying expressions
and solving equations. They include the Pythagorean identity,
angle sum and difference identities, and double angle formulas,
which provide foundational knowledge for further mathematical
exploration.
1 Pythagorean Identity
The fundamental identity states that sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 for
any angle θ.
2 Angle Sum and Difference Identities
Formulas like sin (A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B.
3 Double Angle and Half Angle Formulas
Formulas such as sin(2θ) = 2 sin θ cos θ.
