4.2 Trigonometric Ratios and Special Angles

 

Adjacent: A
Hypotenuse: H
Opposite: O

Primary Trigonometric Ratios
sin x = O / H
cos x = A / H
tan x = O / A

Reciprocal Trigonometric Ratios
cosec x = 1 / sin x
sec x = 1 / cos x
cot x = 1 / tan x

to those who are not familiar with this chapter
tan x = sin x / cos x
cot x = cos x / sin x


 Special Angles





In this chapter, we have to concern of whether our calculator is in radian mode or degree mode to avoid carelss mistakes.
