INTRODUCTION
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies
relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles.
The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd
century BC.
The 3rd-century astronomers first noted that the lengths
one angle is known, then all other angles and lengths can
be determined algorithmically.
Trigonometry is most simply associated with planar
right-angle triangles (each of which is a two-dimensional
triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees).
BASIC CONCEPTS OF
TRIGONOMETRY
BASIC CONCEPTS
Trigonometry first established relationships between the
angle and side measurements of a right angled triangle by
defining trigonometric functions.
Important basic elements
Right angled triangle
Pythagoras theorem:
(hypotenuse)^2 = (base)^2 + (height)^2
Reciprocal Identities:
1 1 1
csc( A) sec( A) cot( A)
sin( A) cos( A) tan( A)
1 1 1
sin( A) cos( A) tan( A)
csc( A) sec( A) cot( A)
Pythagorean Identities:
sin 2 ( A) cos 2 ( A) 1
tan 2 ( A) 1 sec 2 ( A) 1 cot 2 ( A) csc 2 ( A)

2. Verify the identity sin30+cos30=1
Solution :
sin30+cos30=(1/2) +(3/2) =1/4+3/4=4/4=1
Hence verified.
