    This document defines and explains the six main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. It describes how these functions relate the ratios of the sides of a right triangle, with the sine being the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, the cosine being the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, and the tangent being the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Examples are given to demonstrate calculating the trig functions for specific angles in right triangles.

    SIX MAIN TRIGONOMETRIC

    FUNCTIONS
    Objectives
    Find the sine, cosine, and tangent
    of right triangle.

    Use trigonometric ratios to find


    side lengths of a right triangles.
    SIX MAIN TRIGONOMETRIC
    FUNCTIONS
    1. Sine (sin)
    2. Cosine (COS)
    3. TANGENT (TAN)
    4. SECANT (SeC)
    5. Cosecant (CSC)
    6. COTANGENT (COT)
    The sides of the right triangle
    are:
    Hypotenuse the side opposite
    the right angle. Always the
    longest side
    Opposite the side opposite
    angle.

    Adjacent the side having both


    angles of interest.

    The trigonometric functions are:


    sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant.
    The trig functions can be
    summarized using the following
    mnemonic device:
