3. Trigonometry
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which deals with
triangles particularly triangles in a plane where one angle is
90 degree ( i. e. Right Angled Triangles)
Trigonometry specifically deals with relationships
between the sides and the angles of a triangle.
4. Right- Angled triangle
A
B C
BASE
PERPENDICULAR
Hypotenuse The side opposite to the right angle.
Base The horizontal side of the triangle
Perpendicular The vertical side of the triangle.
6. Right- Angled triangle

B C
BASE
PERPENDICULAR
Ɵ
Hypotenuse The side opposite to the right angle.
Base The side adjacent to active angle.
Perpendicular The side opposite to active angle.
AC
BC
AB
7. Pythagoras Theorem
The square of hypotenuse is equal
to the sum of the squares of other
two sides.
A
B C
𝑨𝑪𝟐 = 𝑩𝑪𝟐 + 𝑨𝑩𝟐
8. Why Trigonometry
In Pythagoras Theorem, we have
given two sides and using
theorem formula, we can find
the third side.
A
B C
But in few situations, we know
the dimension of one side only
and we find other two sides by
Trigonometry.

𝟗𝟎𝒐
Let ABC be an isosceles triangle right angled at B.
Then, <A = 𝟒𝟓𝒐
and <C = 𝟒𝟓𝒐
Applying Pythagoras Theorem to ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪,We get
𝑨𝑪𝟐 = 𝑨𝑩𝟐 + 𝑩𝑪𝟐
⇒ 𝑨𝑪𝟐
= 𝒂𝟐
+ 𝒂𝟐
⇒ 𝑨𝑪𝟐= 𝟐𝒂𝟐
⇒ 𝑨𝑪 = 𝟐𝒂
⇒ 𝑨𝑪 = 𝟐𝒂𝟐
18. Trigonometric ratios of some specific angles
For 𝟔𝟎𝒐
𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟑𝟎𝒐
Let ABC be an equilateral triangle.
Then, <A = 𝟔𝟎𝒐
, <B = 𝟔𝟎𝒐
and <C = 𝟔𝟎𝒐
Let each side of the triangle is of length 2a

Now draw an altitude CD from vertex C to opposite side AB
D
𝒂 𝒂
𝟑𝟎𝒐
Applying Pythagoras Theorem to ∆𝑪𝑫𝑩,We get
𝑩𝑪𝟐 = 𝑩𝑫𝟐 + 𝑫𝑪𝟐
⇒ (𝟐𝒂)𝟐= 𝒂𝟐 + 𝑫𝑪𝟐
⇒ 𝑫𝑪 = 𝟑𝒂𝟐
⇒ 𝟒𝒂𝟐 − 𝒂𝟐 = 𝑫𝑪𝟐
⇒ 𝟑𝒂𝟐= 𝑫𝑪𝟐
⇒ 𝑫𝑪 = 𝟑𝒂

In ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪, <A will be 𝟎𝒐 when AC and AB coincides,
That is AC = AB
