TRIGONOMETRIC RATIO & IDENTITIES The word 'trigonometry' is derived from the Greek words 'trigon' and ' metron' and it means 'measuring the sides and angles of a triangle'.
Angle : Angle is a measure of rotation of a given ray about its initial point. The original ray is called the initial side and the final position of the ray after rotation is called the terminal side of the angle. The point of rotation is called the vertex. If the direction of rotation is anticlockwise, the angle is said to be positive and if the direction of rotation is clockwise, then the angle is negative. B

Systems For Measurement of Angles : An angle can be measured in the following systems. 1.
Sexagesimal System (British System) : In this system degree (°),
1 1 of a degree is called a minute () and of a minute is called a second (). 60 60
One right angle = 90°, 2.
1° = 60,
1 = 60
Centesimal System (French System) : In this system
grade (g),
1 of a complete circular turn is called a 360
1 of a grade is called a minute 100
One right angle = 100g; 1g = 100 ;
and
1 of a complete circular turn is called a 400
1 of a minute is called a second 100
.
1 = 100
Note : The minutes and seconds in the Sexagesimal system are different with the minutes and seconds respectively in the Centesimal System. Symbols in both systems are also different. 3.
Circular System (Radian Measurement) The angle subtended by an arc of a circle whose length is equal to the radius of the circle at the centre of the circle is called a radian. In this system the unit of measurement is radian (c) As the circumference of a circle of radius 1 unit is 2 , therefore one complete revolution of the initial side subtends an angle of 2 radian. More generally, in a circle of radius r, an arc of length r will subtend an angle of 1 radian. It is well-known that equal arcs of a circle subtend equal angle at the centre. Since in a circle of radius r, an arc of length r subtends an angle whose measure is 1 radian, an arc of length will subtend an angle whose measure is r radian. Thus, if in a circle of radius r, arc of length subtends an angle radian at the centre, we have = r or = r .

Trigonometric Ratios for Acute Angles : Let a revolving ray OP starts from OA and revolves into the position OP, thus tracing out the angle AOP. In the revolving ray take any point P and draw PM perpendicular to the initial ray OA. In the right angle triangle MOP, OP is the hypotenuse, PM is the perpendicular, and OM is the base. The trigonometrical ratios, or functions, of the angle AOP are defined as follows : MP Perp. , i.e., , is called the Sine of the angle AOP; OP Hyp.
Base OM , i.e. Hyp. , is called the Cosine of the angle AOP; OP MP Perp. , i.e. , is called the Tangent of the angle AOP; OM Base
Base OM , i.e. , is called the Cotangent of the angle AOP; Perp. MP OP Hyp. , i.e. , is called the Secant of the angle AOP; OM Base
Hyp. OP , i.e. , is called the Cosecant of the angle AOP; Perp. MP The quantity by which the cosine falls short of unity i.e. 1 – cos AOP, is called the Versed Sine of AOP; also the quantity 1 – sin AOP, by which the sine falls short of unity, is called the Coversed Sine of AOP. It can be noted that the trigonometrical ratios are all real numbers. The names of these eight ratios are written, for brevity, sin AOP, cos AOP, tan AOP, cot AOP, cosec AOP, sec AOP, vers AOP, and covers AOP respectively

MATHS Trigonometric ratios for angle R : We will now extend the definition of trigonometric ratios to any angle in terms of radian measure and study them as trigonometric functions. (also called circular functions) Consider a unit circle (radius 1 unit) with centre at origin of the coordinate axes. Let at origin of the coordinate axes. Let P(a, b) be any point on the circle with angle AOP = x radian, i.e., length of arc AP = x We define cos x = a and sin x = b Since OMP is a right triangle, we have OM2 + MP2 = OP2 or a2 + b2 =1 Thus, for every point on the unit circle, we have a2 + b2 = 1 or cos2x + sin2 x = 1 Since one complete revolution subtends an angle of 2 radian at the centre of the circle, AOB =
3 , AOC = and AOD = . All angles which 2 2
are called quadrantal angles. The coordinates of the 2 points A, B, C and D are, respectively, (1, 0), (0, 1), (–1, 0) and (0, –1). Therefore, for quadrantal angles, we have cos 0 = 1 sin 0 = 0, are integral multiples of
=0 2 cos = –1
=1 2 sin = 0
3 =0 2 cos 2 = 1
3 =–1 2 sin 2 = 0
cos
sin

sin
Now if we take one complete revolution from the position OP, we again come back to same position OP. Thus, we also observe that if x increases (or decreases) by any integral multiple of 2 , the values of sine and cosine functions do not change. Thus, sin (2n + x) = sin x , n Z, cos (2n + x) = cos x, n Z Further, sin x = 0, if x = 0, ± , ± 2 , ± 3 ....., i.e., when x is an integral multiple of and cos x = 0, if
3 5 ,± ,± , .....i.e., cos x vanishes when x is an odd multiple of . Thus 2 2 2 2 sin x = 0 implies x = n , where n is any integer x=±
, where n is any integer.. 2 We now define other trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine functions : cos x = 0 implies x = (2n + 1)
cosec x =
sec x =
1 , x n , sin x
where n is any integer.
1 , x (2n + 1) , where n is any integer.. cos x 2
tan x =

cot x =

If is in the first quadrant then P(a, b) lies in the first quadrant. Therefore a > 0, b > 0 and hence the values of all the trigonometric functions are positive. If is in the quadrant then P(a, b) lies in the quadrant. Therefore a < 0, b > 0 and hence the values sin, cosec are positive and the remaining are negative. If is in the quadrant then P(a, b) lies in the quadrant. Therefore a < 0, b < 0 and hence the values of tan, cot are positive and the remaining are negative. If is in the V quadrant then P(a, b) lies in the IV quadrant. Therefore a > 0, b < 0 and hence the values of cos, sec are positive and the remaining are negative.
