Chapter 8: Introduction to Trigonometry

Complete Original Revision Guide • 27 Pages • Made for CBSE Students 🦖

Page 1: Introduction

Trigonometry deals with relationships between sides and angles of right-angled triangle.

Trigonometric ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot.

Chapter covers standard values, identities, and calculations.

Page 2: Right-Angled Triangle

Hypotenuse: longest side opposite right angle.

Opposite side: opposite to angle θ

Adjacent side: next to θ (not hypotenuse)

Page 3: Trigonometric Ratios

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
cosec θ = 1/sin θ
sec θ = 1/cos θ
cot θ = 1/tan θ

Page 5: Complementary Angles

sin(90° - θ) = cos θ

cos(90° - θ) = sin θ

tan(90° - θ) = cot θ

Page 6: Trigonometric Identities

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
1 + tan²θ = sec²θ
1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

Derived from Pythagoras.
