Trigonometric Ratios of an Acute Angle

Ratios that bind an angle to the sides of a right triangle.

Theory

In a right-angled triangle, the six trigonometric ratios fix the relationship between an acute angle and the lengths of its three sides — the side opposite , the side adjacent to it, and the hypotenuse.

Formula

Each ratio is a pure number: it depends on the angle alone, never on the size of the triangle. The reciprocals give cosecant, secant and cotangent.

Section 2 of 7 · The six ratios defined 0 words

In a right-angled triangle, the six trigonometric ratios describe the fixed relationship between an angle and the lengths of its three sides.

The side opposite the angle, the side adjacent to it, and the hypotenuse combine, two at a time, to define sine, cosine and tangent.

Because each ratio depends only on the angle — never on the size of the triangle — the same value holds for every similar triangle.

This is what lets us recover distances we cannot measure directly, from the height of a tower to the width of a river.

Chapter 4 — Trigonometric Ratios

In a right-angled triangle, the six trigonometric ratios describe the fixed relationship between an angle and the lengths of its sides. Because each ratio depends only on the angle, the same values hold for every similar triangle.

This is what lets us recover distances we cannot measure directly — the height of a tower, the width of a river — from a single measured angle.

Trigonometric Ratios of an Acute Angle

Ratios that bind an angle to the sides of a right triangle — and the standard values every problem returns to.

In a right-angled triangle, the six trigonometric ratios fix the relationship between an acute angle and the lengths of its three sides — the side opposite , the side adjacent to it, and the hypotenuse. Every identity, height-and-distance problem, and graph that follows in this unit is a consequence of these three definitions, so they are worth committing to memory before proceeding.

4.1 The three primary ratios

For the reference angle shown in Fig. 4.1, the primary ratios are defined as follows. Each is a pure number, independent of the size of the triangle.

θ adjacent (b) opposite (a) hypotenuse (c)
Fig. 4.1 — Sides named relative to ; here .

The reciprocals give three further ratios — cosecant, secant and cotangent — defined by , and . Together the six ratios describe the triangle completely.

4.2 Standard values

The ratios at the standard angles recur constantly and should be recalled instantly:

θ30°45°60°90°
sin θ0½1
cos θ1½0
tan θ01
Example 1.

If , find and .

Solution. With opp , hyp , the adjacent side is . Hence and .

Ex 4.1 The value of is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

4.3 Fundamental identities

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the definitions of the ratios yields the three identities on which most simplifications depend. Dividing throughout by , and in turn gives:

These hold for every angle for which each ratio is defined, and together with the quotient relations and they reduce any trigonometric expression to sines and cosines alone.

First it learns your books. Then everything it makes is yours.

Show Pageforce your best titles. It learns how you write, how you teach, and how your pages look — and produces new books that match them. Nothing generic. Nothing off-brand.

  • Your voice every sentence sounds like your house wrote it
  • Your design your layouts, your covers-to-folios visual identity
  • Your pedagogy your way of teaching, your difficulty curve
  • Your standards your review bar, enforced on every page

Your competitors can buy the same AI models. They cannot buy your engine.
