trigonometry formula
Answers
Let us consider the following right-angled triangle:
As you can see, the three sides of the triangle are:
a. Base: The side that is horizontal to the plane.
b. Perpendicular: The side making an angle of 90 degree with the Base.
c. Hypotenuse: The longest side of the triangle.
Also, θ is the angle made by Hypotenuse and Base.
Then,
sine of angle θ = sinθ = Perpendicular/ Hypotenuse
cosine of angle θ = cosθ = Base/ Hypotenuse
tangent of angle θ = tanθ = Perpendicular/ Base
cotangent of angle θ = cotθ = Base/Perpendicular
cosecant of angle θ = cosecθ = Hypotenuse/Perpendicular
secant of angle θ = secθ = Hypotenuse/ Base
