sinA = perpendicular/hypotenuse = cosA/sinA

cosA = base/hypotenuse = base/perpendicular

tanA = sinA/cosA sinA = 1/cosecA

= perpendicular/base cosA = 1/secA

cotA = 1/tanA tanA = 1/cotA

Trigonometric Table

Here are the important trigonometric identities you'll need to memorize (YES, MEMORIZE!):

2 2
sin A + cos A = 1

2 2
1 + tan A = sec A To remember this identity, s and t are different letters.

2 2
1 + cot A = cosec A To remember this identity, c (cosec) and c (cot) are the same letters and cot is the
inverse of tan.

While solving Proving sums in Trigonometry,

Remember:

If you get a question like this:

2
P.T. 1+cosA/1 - cosA = (cosecA + cotA)

Observe that the RHS has cosecA=1/sinA and cotA=cosA/sinA

Since both cosecA and cotA, when simplified have sinA as the denominator, if we divide EACH TERM on the LHS
by sinA, we will solve the sum. You can also apply the same technique to proving sums which have cosA as the
denominator. (By www.icsehelpline101.wordpress.com)
