trigonometric function

\(sin\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{p}{h}\)    -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1

\(cos\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{b}{h}\)     -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1

\(tan\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{p}{b}\)     -∞ ≤ tan θ ≤ ∞

\(cot\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{b}{p}\)     -∞ ≤ cot θ ≤ ∞

\(sec\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{h}{b}\)     -1 ≥ sec θ ≥ 1

\(cosec\hspace{1mm}θ = \frac{h}{p}\)    -1 ≥ cosec θ ≥ 1

Method Of measuring the angles

1. English System/Degree system

2. French System/Gradian system

3. Circular System/Radian system

1. English System/Degree system

      1 right-angle = 90°

      1° = 60' (60 minute) 

      1' = 60'' (60 second)

2. French System/Gradian system

      1 right-angle = 100g (100 gradian)

      1g = 100' (100 minute) 

      1' = 100'' (100 second)

3. Circular System/Radian system

        1 right-angle = 90° = \(\frac{π^C}{2} \left ( \frac{π}{2} \hspace{1mm} Radian \right )\)

\(1^C = \left ( \frac{180\times 7}{22} \right )^{\circ} = 57^{\circ} 16' 22''\)  (approx.)

Relation Between Degree, Gradian and Radian

\[ 90^{\circ} = 100^g = \left ( \frac{π}{2} \right )^C\]

\[\frac{D }{90} = \frac{G}{100} = \frac{2R }{π}\]

πC = 180°

Degree Radian
30° \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
45° \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
60° \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
90° \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
180° \(\pi\)
270° \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\)
360° \(2\pi\)
