Trigonometry Formula

Trigonometry defines trigonometric ratios such as sine, cosine, and tangent for common angles. It provides identities relating trigonometric functions of sum, difference, and double angles. Trigonometry is used to solve triangles using the sine rule, cosine rule, and relationships between sides and angles in right-angled triangles.
