What is trigonometry ?What is trigonometry ?

Trigonometry is a branch of Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides and the angles gbetween these sides.


What is trigonometry ?What is trigonometry ?The word Trigonometry comes f t G k d from two Greek words,

trigonon = triangle, and trigonon triangle, and

metron = measure.


Origin of Trigonometry

The method was originated in the second

Origin of Trigonometry

century B.C. by Hipparchus and other early Greek astronomers in their attempts to solve certain spherical triangles. The term trigonometry was not used until the close of the sixteenth century.


Labeling Right Angled TrianglesThe most important skill you need The most important skill you need right now is the ability to correctly l b l h d f h l d label the sides of a right angled triangle.The names of the sides are:

the hypotenusethe hypotenusethe opposite sidethe adjacent side

Labeling Right Triangles

The hypotenuse is easy to locate because it is side opposite to the right pp gangle.

Since this side is across from the

Here is the right angle

across from the right angle, this must be the h tright angle... hypotenuse.


Before you label the other two Before you label the other two sides you must have a reference angle selectedangle selected.

It can be either of the two acute anglesangles.


In the triangle below, let’s pick angle B In the triangle below, let s pick angle B as the reference angle.

B This will be our reference angle...

A C


Remember, angle B is our reference gangle.The hypotenuse is side BC because it is The hypotenuse is side BC because it is across from the right angle.

TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS:

There are six trigonometric ratios:Sine abbreviation sinSine abbreviation sinCosine abbreviation cosTangent abbreviation tanTangent abbreviation tanSecant abbreviation secCosecant abbreviation cosecCosecant abbreviation cosecCotangent abbreviation cot
