Example, trigonometric ratios of the angle A in right triangle ABC are defined as sin A, cos A, tan A, cosec A,
sec A and cot A.
OBJECTIVE
To find trigonometric ratios for 30°, 45° and 60°
DESCRIPTION
(i) To find t-ratios for 30°, 45° and 60°, Draw an equilateral triangle as shown below.
Fig. 3.1
Here, AB = BC= AC =2a.
(ii) Draw AD 1 BC. Then, BD = DC =a.
In right triangle ADB, using Pythagoras Theorem,
AD? = AB? - Bp?
= AD? = (2a)? - (a)? = 4a? - 2
= AD? = 3a?
= AD = 3a? = 3a

1.
Take a large graph paper and mark the two coordinate axes as shown in Fig. 13.1,
2. Draw a triangle of sides say 3 em, 4 em and 5 em on the cardboard and cut it out.
3. Place the triangle in different positions i. by displacing it and rotating it as shown in Fig. 13.2,
4. Note the coordinate of triangle 4;B;C; in each case (Fig. 13.2) where f= 1,2,3,4.
5. Verify by using distance formula that is each case
