Summary

In this chapter, you have studied the following points :

1.In a right triangle ABC, right-angled at B:

sin A = side opposite to angle Ahypotenuse ,

cos A = side adjacent to angle A hypotenuse ,

tan A = side opposite to angle Aside adjacent to angle A

2.cosec A =

sec A =

cot A =

tan A = .

3. If one of the trigonometric ratios of an acute angle is known, the remaining trigonometric ratios of the angle can be easily determined.

4. The values of trigonometric ratios for angles , 30°, 45°, ° and °.

5. The value of sin A or cos A never exceeds 1, whereas the value of sec A or cosec A is always greater than or equal to .

6.sin2 A + cos2 A = 1 for 0°< A ≤ °

sec2 A –tan2 A = for 0°≤ A ≤ 90°,

cosec2A = 1 + cot2 A for 0°< A ≤ °.
