Trigonometry Tricks



-----------------1------------------------

Sin = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
Cos = Base/Hypotenuse
Tan = Perpendicular/Base

Make a sentence for it to memorize it easily, we make a sentence “some people have curly black hair through properly brushing”
Cesec, Sec and Cot are reverse of Sin, Cos and Tan...

-----------------2------------------------

A useful trick to remember is that all the trigonometric functions are periodic, that is, they repeat their values after a specific angle. For example, sine and cosine functions repeat after every 360 degrees, and tangent function repeats after 180 degrees. This goes for their inverses as well.


-----------------3------------------------

To learn the trigonometric table (yeah! I am talking about that sin, cos, tan and other side 30, 45, 60 and more degrees' table... ohhh...!!!), Watch this video (7:32 --- not so long)... It explains a very easy method to remember that... (Thank Goodness, Finally I found it..!!!)

 If you look at this, there are a number of different identities you can observe.

Reading across the central 1 in any direction gives reciprocal identities:


Reading down any triangle gives the standard identities (starting at the top left and going clockwise):



Reading a function and dividing the two consecutive clockwise or counter clockwise neighbors gives these identities:
(Starting at tan and going clockwise)






(Starting at tan and going counter-clockwise)







Reading a function and multiplying the two nearest neighbors gives these identities (starting at tan and going clockwise):
