where, P is perpendicular, B is base and H is

Important Points
{i) In an isosceles right ABC, right angled
at B, the trigonometric ratios obtained by
taking either 24 or ZC, both give the
same value,
(i) The value of cach of the trigonometric
ratios of an angle does not depend on
the size of the triangle. It only depends
on the angle.
Itis clear that the values of the
trigonometric ratios of an angle do not
vary with the lengths of the sides of the
triangle, ifthe angle remains the same.
(iv) [fone of the trigonometric ratios of an
acute angle is known, then remaining
‘trigonometric ratios of that angle can be
determined easily.
(¥} Each trigonometric ratio is a real number
and has no unit
(vi) As, the hypotenuse is the longest side in
aright angled triangle, the value of
sin A oreos Ais always less than 1
{or in particular equal to 1) whereas the
value of see A or cose A is always,
greater than or equal to 1.

Trigonometric Identity
‘An equation is called an identity when itis tre for
all values ofthe variables involved, Similarly, an.
equation involving trigonometric ratios of an angle
is called a trigonometric identity, ifitis true forall
values of the angle involved. For any acute angle @,
we have
(i) sin’ @+cos?@=1 or sin?@=1-cos?
or cos’@=1~sin?@
