Triangle
INTRODUCTION TO A triangle is a polygon with
three sides and three angles.
TRIGONOMETRIC
Triangles have different
FUNCTIONS names based on their side
lengths and angles.

The RIGHT Triangle The RIGHT Triangle

 A right triangle is a triangle in which one
angle is 90°.

 The relationship between the various

sides can be easily understood with the
help of the PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM.

 The side opposite to the right angle is

the longest side and is referred to as
the hypotenuse.

HOW DO WE SOLVE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

THIS???  TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS are also known
Given the triangle below, Find the missing length of the sides as CIRCULAR FUNCTIONS can be simply defined
as the functions of an angle of a triangle.

USING  It means that the relationship between the

angles and sides of a triangle are given by
TRIGONOMETRIC these trig functions.

FUNCTIONS  The basic trigonometric functions are SINE,

COSINE, TANGENT, COTANGENT, SECANT AND
COSECANT.
