š§® Trigonometric Functions Explained
- Sine (sin): The ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Cosine (cos): The ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- Tangent (tan): The ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side in a right triangle. It can also be expressed as $tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$.
- Cotangent (cot): The reciprocal of the tangent function. $cot(x) = \frac{1}{tan(x)} = \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}$.
- Secant (sec): The reciprocal of the cosine function. $sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)}$.
- Cosecant (csc): The reciprocal of the sine function. $csc(x) = \frac{1}{sin(x)}$.
š» Example Calculation
Let's calculate the trigonometric functions for 30 degrees:
import math
angle_degrees = 30
angle_radians = math.radians(angle_degrees)
sin_value = math.sin(angle_radians)
cos_value = math.cos(angle_radians)
tan_value = math.tan(angle_radians)
cot_value = 1 / tan_value
sec_value = 1 / cos_value
csc_value = 1 / sin_value
print(f"Sine: {sin_value}")
print(f"Cosine: {cos_value}")
print(f"Tangent: {tan_value}")
print(f"Cotangent: {cot_value}")
print(f"Secant: {sec_value}")
print(f"Cosecant: {csc_value}")
Output:
Sine: 0.49999999999999994
Cosine: 0.8660254037844387
Tangent: 0.5773502691896257
Cotangent: 1.7320508075688772
Secant: 1.1547005383792517
Cosecant: 2.0000000000000004
