Trigonometry Definition
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between the sides and angles of
triangles. It helps us calculate unknown angles and sides of a triangle based on the known values.
Trigonometry is used in a wide range of applications, from architecture and engineering to physics and
astronomy.
Common Trigonometric Functions
1 Sine
The unit circle is a circle with a radius of one unit, Radians are a unit of measurement for angles. They
centered at the origin of a coordinate plane. The measure the angle of a circle subtended by an arc
unit circle provides us with a visual representation that is equal in length to the radius of the circle.
of trigonometric functions and helps us understand One radian is approximately 57.3 degrees.
their properties.
Trigonometric Identities
Trigonometric identities are equations that are true for all values of the variables. They help us simplify
expressions, solve equations, and prove other statements in trigonometry. The most common identities
include the Pythagorean identities, reciprocal identities, quotient identities, and even-odd identities.
Applications of Trigonometry
Architecture Trigonometry is used to calculate building
heights, roof slopes, and angles in architectural
designs.
