TRIGNOMETRY
Or
π radian = 180 degrees.
Therefore, 1 Radian = 180°/π
Hence, 1 Radian = 57°16’, approximately
Also, 1 degree can be written as
1° = π/180 radian = 0.01746 radians approximately.
Trigonometric Functions
The trigonometric functions are also called the angle functions, which relate the angles and the
ratios of the sides of a right angle triangle. Considering the unit circle, the six important
trigonometric functions are given as follows:
If “n” is an integer, then
Sin x =0 ⇒ x =nπ
Cos x = 0 ⇒ x= (2n+1)π/2
The other trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine functions are given as follows:
Tan x = sin x /cos x ⇒ x≠ (2n+1)π/2
Cosec x = 1/sin x ⇒x ≠ nπ,
Sec x = 1/cos x ⇒ x≠ (2n+1)π/2
Cot x = cos x/sin x ⇒ x ≠ nπ
cos2(A) + sin2(A) = 1

If A/2 is in the first or second quadrants, the formula uses the positive sign.
If A/2 is in the third or fourth quadrants, the formula uses the negative sign

a2 = b2+c2 – 2bc cos A
b2 = c2+ a2 – 2ca cos B
c2 = a2+b2 – 2ab cos C
Product Identities
Sin x cos y = (½)[sin (x+y) + sin (x-y)]
Cos x sin y = (½) [sin (x+y)- sin (x-y)]
Cos x cos y = (½)[cos(x-y) + cos (x+y)]
Sin x sin y = (½) [cos (x-y) – cos (x+y)]
