What are the basic trigonometric ratios?
The six fundamental trigonometric ratios are:
Sine (sin θ)
= Perpendicular / Hypotenuse
Sinθ = $\frac{p}{h}$
Cosine (cos θ)
= Base / Hypotenuse
Cosθ = $\frac{b}{h}$
Tangent (tan θ)
= Perpendicular / Base
Tanθ = $\frac{p}{b}$
Cosecant (cosec θ)
= Hypotenuse / Perpendicular (Reciprocal of sine)
Cosecθ
= $\frac{h}{p}$
Secant (sec θ)
= Hypotenuse / Base (Reciprocal of cosine)
Secθ = $\frac{h}{b}$
Cotangent (cot θ)
= Base / Perpendicular (Reciprocal of tangent)
Cotθ = $\frac{b}{p}$
