KEY POINTS
A
• A branch of mathematics which deals
with the problems related to right
angled triangles. It is the study of (Perpendicular) P H (hypotenuse)
relationship between the sides and
angles of a right
angled triangel.
B C
Note : For A — Perpendicular is BC B
base is AB. (base)
For C, Perpendicualr is AB Base is BC.
Trigonometric Rations of an acute angle in a right angled triangle express the
relationship between the angle and the length of its sides.
