Trigonometry Formulas For Class 10

Trigonometry is the study of relationships between angles, lengths, and heights of

triangles. It includes ratios, function, identities, formulas to solve problems based on it,
especially for right-angled triangles. Applications of trigonometry
(https://byjus.com/maths/applications-of-trigonometry/) are also found in engineering,
astronomy, Physics and architectural design. This chapter is very important as it comprises
many topics like Linear Algebra, Calculus and Statistics.
Trigonometry is introduced in CBSE Class 10. It is a completely new and tricky chapter
where one needs to learn all the formula and apply them accordingly. Trigonometry Class
10 formulas are tabulated below.

List of Trigonometric Formulas for 10th

Applying Pythagoras theorem (https://byjus.com/maths/pythagoras-theorem/) for the

given right-angled triangle, we have:
(Perpendicular)2+(Base)2=(Hypotenuse)2
⇒(P)2+(B)2=(H)2
The Trigonometric formulas are given below:

Sign Functions
sin (-θ) = − sin θ
cos (−θ) = cos θ
tan (−θ) = − tan θ
cosec (−θ) = − cosec θ
sec (−θ) = sec θ
cot (−θ) = − cot θ

Trigonometric Identities
1. sin2A + cos2A = 1
2. tan2A + 1 = sec2A
3. cot2A + 1 = cosec2A

Periodic Identities
sin(2nπ + θ ) = sin θ
cos(2nπ + θ ) = cos θ
tan(2nπ + θ ) = tan θ
cot(2nπ + θ ) = cot θ
sec(2nπ + θ ) = sec θ
cosec(2nπ + θ ) = cosec θ

Complementary Ratios
Quadrant I
sin(π/2−θ) = cos θ
cos(π/2−θ) = sin θ
tan(π/2−θ) = cot θ
cot(π/2−θ) = tan θ
sec(π/2−θ) = cosec θ
cosec(π/2−θ) = sec θ
Quadrant II
sin(π−θ) = sin θ

cos(π−θ) = -cos θ

tan(π−θ) = -tan θ

cot(π−θ) = – cot θ

sec(π−θ) = -sec θ

cosec(π−θ) = cosec θ
Quadrant III
sin(π+ θ) = – sin θ

cot(π+ θ) = cot θ
sec(π+ θ) = -sec θ
cosec(π+ θ) = -cosec θ
Quadrant IV
sin(2π− θ) = – sin θ
cos(2π− θ) = cos θ
tan(2π− θ) = – tan θ
cot(2π− θ) = – cot θ
sec(2π− θ) = sec θ
cosec(2π− θ) = -cosec θ

Sum and Difference of Two Angles

sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
sin (A − B) = sin A cos B – cos A sin B
cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
tan(A+B) = [(tan A + tan B)/(1 – tan A tan B)]
tan(A-B) = [(tan A – tan B)/(1 + tan A tan B)]

Double Angle Formulas

sin2A = 2sinA cosA = [2tan A + (1+tan2A)]
cos2A = cos2A–sin2A = 1–2sin2A = 2cos2A–1= [(1-tan2A)/(1+tan2A)]
tan 2A = (2 tan A)/(1-tan2A)

Thrice of Angle Formulas

sin3A = 3sinA – 4sin3A
cos3A = 4cos3A – 3cosA
tan3A = [3tanA–tan3A]/[1−3tan2A]

Don’t Stop Here Only It would be better If you would Give more formulas in free.

It may become blessing for someone Hence please write down all the formula of trigonometry. I am the
teacher of Excellence Public School. If you will do this for poor students so they would be very thankful to you
in fact I will be also.

Thankyou Somuch😊😊😊
