  4. History: • They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle. • Sumerian astronomers introduced angle measure, using a division of circles into 360 degrees. Trigonometric functions(also called circular functions) are functions of an angle. • The sine function was first defined in the “surya siddhanta” and its properties were further documented by the fifth century Indian mathematician and astronomer “Aryabhatta”. • By 10th century the six trigonometric functions were used.

  5. In 240 B.C. a mathematician named “Eratosthenes” discovered the radius of the earth as 4212.48 miles using trigonometric functions.. • In 2001 a group of European astronomers did an experiment by using trigonometric functions and they got all the measurement, they calculate the Venus was about 105,000,000 km away from the sun and the earth was about 150, 000, 000 km away. Applications: • Optics and statics are 2 early fields of Physics that use trigonometry. • It is also the foundation of the practical art of surveying

  6. 1. Prove that Sol: 2. Prove that Sol:

  7. A c b Ѳ C Fundamental Relations: B a Squaring and adding both the equations From the above diagram, By Pythagorean Rule,

  8. A c b Squaring and subtracting the equations, we get Ѳ C B a From the above diagram, By Pythagorean Rule, Similarly,

  9. Example: Prove that sol:

  10. Sol: We know that sec2Ѳ - tan2Ѳ = 1 = cosec2Ѳ - cot2Ѳ sec2Ѳ - tan2Ѳ = cosec2Ѳ - cot2Ѳ sec2Ѳ - cosec2Ѳ = tan2Ѳ - cot2Ѳ Example: Prove that Sol: Given that Ex: Prove that sec2Ѳ - cosec2Ѳ = tan2Ѳ - cot2Ѳ

  11. Values of the trigonometrical ratios :

  12. Example: If cosѲ = 3/5, find the value of the other ratios Sol: Given that cosѲ = 3/5 = adj / hyp thus using reference triangle adj = 3, hyp = 5,by Pythagorean principle opp = 4 Example: find the value of tan450.sec300 - cot900.cosec450 Sol: Given that tan450.sec300 -- cot900.cosec450 = 1 . -- 0. = 5 4 Ѳ 3
