The Trigonometric formulas or Identities are the equations which are true in the case of Right-Angled Triangles. Some of the special trigonometric identities are as given below –
1. Pythagorean Identities
- sin ² θ + cos ² θ = 1
- tan 2 θ + 1 = sec2 θ
- cot2 θ + 1 = cosec2 θ
- sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ
- cos 2θ = cos² θ – sin² θ
- tan 2θ = 2 tan θ / (1 – tan² θ)
- cot 2θ = (cot² θ – 1) / 2 cot θ
2. Sum and Difference identities-
For angles A and B, we have the following relationships:
- sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
- cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) – sin(A)sin(B)
- tan(A + B) = tan(A) + tan(B)/1−tan(A) tan(B)
- sin(A – B) = sin(A)cos(B) – cos(A)sin(B)
- cos(A – B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(u)sin(v)
- tan(A – B) = tan(A) − tan(B)/1+tan(A) tan(B)
3. If A, B and C are angles and a, b and c are the sides of a triangle, then,
Sine Laws
- a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
Cosine Laws
- c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cos C
- a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A
- b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac cos B
