Trigonometry
Introduction
Trigonometry: The word trigonometry comes from the Greek
words “trigonon” which means triangle and “metron” which means
to measure.
Trigonometry deals with determination of measures of sides and
angles of triangles by means of relevant trigonometric functions.
The trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, secant,
cosecant, and cotangent of an angle.
Trigonometry
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which deals with the
measurement of sides and angles of triangles, and their
relationship with each other.

Angles
When a straight line is rotated about a pouint it sweeps out and
angle that can be measured either in degree or in Radians
By conversion a straigth line rotating through a full angle and
returning to its starting position is said to have rotated through 360
degree or 360◦
By conversion 1degree = 60minutes i.e
′
1◦ = 60
and 1◦ = 60x60seconds
′′
that is 1◦ = 3600
so an angle that is measured in degree , minutes and second can
be converted to a decimal degree.

1◦ = 3600

Therefore 45◦ 36 18 = 45◦ + 0.6◦ + 0.005◦ = 45.605◦

Radians
An alternative unit of measure of an angle is the radian.
If a straight line of length r rotate about one end so that other end
describe an arc of length r ,the line is said to have rotated to 1
radian -1rad
Figure 1: Angle in radian measure
It is the measure of a central angle θ that intercepts an arc s equal

in length to the radius r of the circle.

s
This mean that θ = , where θ is the measured in radius and
r
s = θr
If a line rotates through a full angle is the circumference of a circle
which is equal to 2πr .
The number of radian in a full angle is 2πradian
By relating degree and radian we have
2πrad = 360◦

Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric rations are the function of sine, cosine ,tangent and
their reciprocal.
Suppose you are standing at point Aand you need to find the
height OB of the building.
Figure 2: a right angled triangle
I you get a measure of the length from its base and the angle of
elevation from the where you are standing to the top.
The height can be measured by using the trigonometric function.
