The notes for trigonometry Class 10 Maths are provided here. In maths, trigonometry is one of the branches where we learn the relationships between angles and sides of a triangle. Trigonometry is derived from the Greek words  ‘tri’ (means three), ‘gon’ (means sides) and ‘metron’ (means measure). In this chapter, we will learn the basics of trigonometry. Get the complete concept of trigonometry which is covered in Class 10 Maths. Also, get the various trigonometric ratios for specific angles, the relationship between trigonometric functions, trigonometry tables, and various identities given here.

Trigonometric Ratios

Opposite & adjacent sides in a right-angled triangle.

In the Δ A B C right-angled at B, BC is the side opposite to ∠ A , AC is the hypotenuse, and AB is the side adjacent to ∠ A .

For the right Δ A B C , right-angled at ∠ B , the trigonometric ratios of the ∠ A are as follows:

• sin A=opposite side/hypotenuse=BC/AC
• cos A=adjacent side/hypotenuse=AB/AC
• tan A=opposite side/adjacent side=BC/AB
• cosec A=hypotenuse/opposite side=AC/BC
• sec A=hypotenuse/adjacent side=AC/AB
• cot A=adjacent side/opposite side=AB/BC

Relation between Trigonometric Ratios

• cosec θ =1/sin θ
• sec θ = 1/cos θ
• tan θ = sin θ/cos θ
• cot θ = cos θ/sin θ=1/tan θ

Example: Suppose a right-angled triangle ABC, right-angled at B such that hypotenuse AC = 5cm, base BC = 3cm and perpendicular AB = 4cm. Also, ∠ACB = θ. Find the trigonometric ratios tan θ, sin θ and cos θ.

Solution: Given, in ∆ABC,

Hypotenuse, AC = 5cm

Base, BC = 3cm

Perpendicular, AB = 4cm

Then, by the trigonometric ratios, we have;

tan θ = Perpendicular/Base = 4/3

Sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse = AB/AC = ⅘

Cos θ = Base/Hypotenuse = BC/AC = ⅗

Visualization of Trigonometric Ratios Using a Unit Circle

Draw a circle of the unit radius with the origin as the centre. Consider a line segment OP joining a point P on the circle to the centre, which makes an angle θ with the x-axis. Draw a perpendicular from P to the x-axis to cut it at Q.

• sin θ=PQ/OP=PQ/1=PQ
• cos θ=OQ/OP=OQ/1=OQ
• tan θ=PQ/OQ=sin θ/cos θ
• cosec θ=OP/PQ=1/PQ
• sec θ=OP/OQ=1/OQ
• cot θ=OQ/PQ=cos θ/sin θ

Trigonometric Ratios of Specific Angles

The specific angles that are defined for trigonometric ratios are 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°.

Trigonometric Ratios of 45°

If one of the angles of a right-angled triangle is 45°, then another angle will also be equal to 45°.

Let us say ABC is a right-angled triangle at B, such that;

∠ A = ∠ C = 45°

Thus, BC = AB = a (say)

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have;

AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2

= a 2 + a 2

Now, from the trigonometric ratios, we have;

• sin 45° = (Opp. side to angle 45°)/Hypotenuse = BC/AC = a/a√2 = 1/√2
• cos 45° = (Adj. side to angle 45°)/Hypotenuse = AB/AC = a/a√2 = 1/√2
• tan 45° = BC/AB = a/a = 1
• cosec 45° = 1/sin 45° = √2
• sec 45° = 1/cos 45° = √2
• cot 45° = 1/tan 45° = 1

Trigonometric Ratios of 30° and 60°

Here, we will consider an equilateral triangle ABC, such that;

AB = BC = AC = 2a

∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°

Now, draw a perpendicular AD from vertex A that meets BC at D

According to the congruency of the triangle, we can say;

Δ ABD ≅ Δ ACD

∠ BAD = ∠ CAD (By CPCT)

Now, in triangle ABD, ∠ BAD = 30° and ∠ ABD = 60°

Using Pythagoras theorem,

AD 2 = AB 2 – BD 2

= (2a) 2 – (a) 2

So, the trigonometric ratios for a 30-degree angle will be;

sin 30° = BD/AB = a/2a = 1/2

cos 30° = AD/AB = a√3/2a = √3/2

tan 30° = BD/AD = a/a√3 = 1/√3

cosec 30° = 1/sin 30 = 2

sec 30° = 1/cos 30 = 2/√3

cot 30° = 1/tan 30 = √3

Similarly, we can derive the values of trigonometric ratios for 60°.

• sin 60° = √3/2
• cos 60° = 1/2
• tan 60° = √3
• cosec 60° = 2/√3
• sec 60° = 2
• cot 60° = 1/√3

Trigonometric Ratios of 0° and 90°

If ABC is a right-angled triangle at B, if ∠A is reduced, then side AC will come near to side AB. So, if ∠ A is nearing 0 degree, then AC becomes almost equal to AB, and BC get almost equal to 0.

Hence, Sin A = BC /AC = 0

and cos A = AB/AC = 1

tan A = sin A/cos A = 0/1 = 0

cosec A = 1/sin A = 1/0 = not defined

sec A = 1/cos A = 1/1 = 1

cot A = 1/tan A = 1/0 = not defined

In the same way, we can find the values of trigonometric ratios for a 90-degree angle. Here, angle C is reduced to 0, and the side AB will be nearing side BC such that angle A is almost 90 degrees and AB is almost 0.

Range of Trigonometric Ratios from 0 to 90 Degrees

For 0∘≤θ≤90∘,

• 0 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1
• 0 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1
• 0 ≤ tan θ < ∞ 1 ≤ sec θ < ∞
• 0 ≤ cot θ < ∞
• 1 ≤ cosec θ < ∞

tan θ and sec θ are not defined at  90∘.

cot θ and cosec θ are not defined at 0∘.

Variation of Trigonometric Ratios from 0 to 90 Degrees

As θ increases from 0 ∘ to 90 ∘

• s i n  θ increases from 0 to 1
• c o s  θ decreases from 1 to 0
• t a n  θ increases from 0 to ∞
• c o s e c  θ decreases from ∞ to 1
• s e c  θ increases from 1 to ∞
• c o t  θ decreases from ∞ to 0

Trigonometric Ratios of Complementary Angles

Complementary trigonometric ratios.

If θ is an acute angle, its complementary angle is 90 ∘ − θ . The following relations hold true for trigonometric ratios of complementary angles.

• s i n  ( 90° −  θ )  =  c o s  θ
• c o s  ( 90° −  θ )  =  s i n  θ
• t a n  ( 90° −  θ )  =  c o t  θ
• c o t  ( 90° −  θ )  =  t a n  θ
• c o s e c  ( 90° −  θ )  =  s e c  θ
• s e c  ( 90° −  θ )  =  c o s e c  θ

Example: Find the value of sin65°/cos25°.

Solution: Since,

cos A = sin (90° – A)

cos 25° = sin (90° – 25°)

Hence, sin65°/sin65° = 1

Trigonometric Identities

The three most important trigonometric identities are:

• s i n 2 θ + c o s 2 θ = 1
• 1 + c o t 2 θ = c o e s c 2 θ
• 1 + t a n 2 θ = s e c 2 θ

Example: Prove that sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) = 1.

Solution: We will start solving for LHS, to get RHS.

sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) = (1/cos A)(1 – sin A)(1/cos A + sin A/cos A)

= [(1 – sin A)(1 + sin A)]/cos 2 A

= [1 – sin 2 A]/cos 2 A

= (cos 2 A)/(cos 2 A)

Hence proved.

Trigonometry for Class 10 Solved Problems

Find Sin A and Sec A, if 15 cot A = 8.

Given that 15 cot A = 8

Therefore, cot A = 8/15.

We know that tan A = 1/ cot A

Hence, tan A = 1/(8/15) = 15/8.

Thus, Side opposite to ∠A/Side Adjacent to ∠A = 15/8

Let BC be the side opposite to ∠A and AB be the side adjacent to ∠A and AC be the hypotenuse of the right triangle ABC, respectively.

Hence, BC = 15x and AB = 8x.

Hence, to find the hypotenuse side, we have to use the Pythagoras theorem.

(i.e) AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2

AC 2 = (8x) 2 +(15x) 2

AC 2 = 64x 2 +225x 2

AC 2 = 289x 2

Therefore, the hypotenuse AC = 17x.

Finding Sin A:

We know Sin A = Side Opposite to ∠A / Hypotenuse

Sin A = 15x/17x

Sin A = 15/17.

Finding Sec A:

To find Sec A, find cos A first.

Thus, cos A = Side adjacent to ∠A / Hypotenuse

Cos A = 8x/17x

We know that sec A = 1/cos A.

So, Sec A = 1/(8x/17x)

Sec A = 17x/8x

Sec A = 17/8.

Therefore, Sin A = 15/17 and sec A = 17/8.

If tan (A+ B) =√3, tan (A-B) = 1/√3, then find A and B. [Given that  0° <A+B ≤ 90°; A>B ]

Given that 

Tan (A+B) = √3.

We know that tan 60 = √3.

Thus, tan (A+B) = tan 60° = √3.

Hence A+B= 60° …(1)

Similarly, given that,

Tan (A-B) = 1/√3.

We know that tan 30° = 1/√3.

Thus, tan (A-B) = tan 30° = 1/√3.

Hence, A-B = 30° …(2)

Now, adding the equations (1) and (2), we get

A+B+A-B = 60° + 30°

Now, substitute A = 45° in equation (1), we get

45° +B = 60°

B = 60°- 45°

Hence, A = 45 and B = 15°.

Trigonometry assignment.

In Chemistry fundamental concepts like atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, and thermodynamics are introduced. Students learn about the periodic table, chemical reactions, equilibrium, and basic organic chemistry. Practical sessions often involve experiments to understand concepts practically. The curriculum aims to lay a strong foundation for advanced topics in Chemistry, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for further studies and real-world applications.
