The six trigonometric functions are defined below. Refer to the above diagram to get the relational picture. sinθ = \( \dfrac {\mathrm{perpendicular}} {\mathrm{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac {p}{h} \) cosθ = \( \dfrac {\mathrm{base}} {\mathrm{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac {b}{h}...

Pythagoras’ theorem is stated as : The sum of the areas of the two squares on the perpendicular(p) and base(b) of a right-angle triangle is equal to the area of the square on the hypotenuse(h). i.e. p2 + b2 = h2

A right-angle triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles measures 90°. Right-angled triangles have wide applications in mathematics and physics and as such, it became convenient to have specific names for their sides so that the problem statement in mathematics...

The trigonometric functions can be described on an x-y coordinate plane (Euclidean plane) using a circle of radius 1 unit and cutting a sector that subtends an angle θ at the centre. Refer to the diagram below for details.
