Trigonometry Table

Trigonometry Table 0 to 360: Trigonometry is a branch in Mathematics, which involves the


study of the relationship involving the length and angles of a triangle. It is generally associated
with a right-angled triangle, where one of the angles is always 90 degrees. It has a vast number
of applications in other fields of Mathematics. Many geometric calculations can be easily figured
out using the table of trigonometric functions and formulas as well.
Trigonometric ratios table helps to find the values of trigonometric standard angles such as 0°,
30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. It consists of trigonometric ratios – sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant,
cotangent. These ratios can be written in short as sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec and cot. The values of
trigonometric ratios of standard angles are essential to solve the trigonometry problems.
Therefore, it is necessary to remember the values of the trigonometric ratios of these standard
angles.
The trigonometric table is useful in the number of areas. It is essential for navigation, science and
engineering. This table was effectively used in the pre-digital era, even before the existence of
pocket calculators. Further, the table led to the development of the first mechanical computing
devices. Another important application of trigonometric tables is the Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT) algorithms.

Tricks To Remember Trigonometry Table


Remembering the trigonometry table will help in many ways and it is easy to remember the
table. If you know the trigonometry formulas then remembering the trigonometry table is very
easy. The Trigonometry ratios table is dependent upon the trigonometry formulas.
Below are the few steps to memorize the trigonometry table.
Before beginning, try to remember below trigonometry formulas.
 sin x = cos (90° – x)
 cos x = sin (90° – x)
 tan x = cot (90° – x)
 cot x = tan (90° – x)
 sec x = cosec (90° – x)
 cosec x = sec (90° – x)
 1/sin x = cosec x
 1/cos x = sec x
 1/tan x = cot x

Steps to Create a Trigonometry Table


Step 1:
Create a table with the top row listing the angles such as 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, and write all
trigonometric functions in the first column such as sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot.

Step 2: Determine the value of sin


To determine the values of sin, divide 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 by 4 under the root, respectively. See the
example below.
To determine the value of sin 0°

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

sin 0 1/2 1/√2 √3/2 1 0 -1 0

Step 3: Determine the value of cos


The cos-value is the opposite angle of the sin angle. To determine the value of cos divide by 4 in
the opposite sequence of sin. For example, divide 4 by 4 under the root to get the value of cos 0°.
See the example below.
To determine the value of cos 0°

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

cos 1 √3/2 1/√2 1/2 0 -1 0 1

Step 4: Determine the value of tan


The tan is equal to sin divided by cos. tan = sin/cos. To determine the value of tan at 0° divide
the value of sin at 0° by the value of cos at 0°. See the example below.
tan 0°= 0/1 = 0
Similarly, the table would be.

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

tan 0 1/√3 1 √3 ∞ 0 ∞ 0

Step 5: Determine the value of cot


The value of cot is equal to the reciprocal of tan. The value of cot at 0° will obtain by dividing 1
by the value of tan at 0°. So the value will be:
cot 0° = 1/0 = Infinite or Not Defined
Same way, the table for a cot is given below.

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

cot ∞ √3 1 1/√3 0 ∞ 0 ∞

Step 6: Determine the value of cosec


The value of cosec at 0° is the reciprocal of sin at 0°.
cosec 0°= 1/0 = Infinite or Not Defined
Same way, the table for cosec is given below.

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

cosec ∞ 2 √2 2/√3 1 ∞ -1 ∞

Step 7: Determine the value of sec


The value of sec can be determined by all reciprocal values of cos. The value of sec on
is the opposite of cos on
. So the value will be:
In the same way, the table for sec is given below.

Angles (In Degrees) 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 180° 270° 360°

sec 1 2/√3 √2 2 ∞ -1 ∞ 1
