In Trigonometry, different types of problems can be solved using trigonometry formulas.

These
problems may include trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan, sec, cosec and cot), Pythagorean identities,
product identities, etc. Some formulas including the sign of ratios in different quadrants, involving co-
function identities (shifting angles), sum & difference identities, double angle identities, half-angle
identities, etc., are also given in brief here.

Learning and memorizing these mathematics formulas in trigonometry will help the students of Classes
10, 11, and 12 to score good marks in this concept. They can find the trigonometry table along with
inverse trigonometry formulas to solve the problems based on them.

When we learn about trigonometric formulas, we consider them for right-angled triangles only. In a
right-angled triangle, we have 3 sides namely – Hypotenuse, Opposite side (Perpendicular), and
Adjacent side (Base). The longest side is known as the hypotenuse, the side opposite to the angle is
perpendicular and the side where both hypotenuse and opposite side rests is the adjacent side.

Here is the list of formulas for trigonometry.

Basic Trigonometric Function Formulas

There are basically 6 ratios used for finding the elements in Trigonometry. They are called
trigonometric functions. The six trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, secant, cosecant, tangent
and cotangent.
By using a right-angled triangle as a reference, the trigonometric functions and identities are derived:

 sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse

 cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse
 tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side
 sec θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side
 cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side
 cot θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side
