The 6 Trig functions

In the context of right triangles, six trigonometric functions are essential for determining the relationships between the angles and the lengths of the sides. The adjacent side is always next to the angle θ, while the opposite side is directly across from θ.

The 6 Trig functions

The 6 Trig functions

Type in a letter.

Tan

tangent = opposite/ adjacent
Tan = y/x
1 + tan^2θ = sec^2θ

Cos

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
Cos = x

Sin

Type in a song name that starts with that letter.

sine = opposite/ hypotenuse
sin = y
cos^2θ + sin^2θ = 1

Trig functions & Triangles

Type in an animal name that starts with that letter.

When looking at a right Triangle these 6 Trig functions can be used to identify the lengths of sides and angels.
Your " adjacent" side will always be adjacent to your θ
Your " opposite" side will always be opposite your θ
When you have a right triangl, your largest side with be opposite of the right angle. We call this the Hypotenuse.

Cot

Type in a person name that starts with that letter.

cotangent = adjacent / opposite
Cot = x/y
1 + cot^2θ = csc^2θ

Type in a food name that starts with that letter.

Sec

Type in a game name that starts with that letter.

secant = hypotenuse / adjacent
Sec = 1/cos
1 + tan^2θ = sec^2θ

Csc

Type in a book name that starts with that letter.

cosecant = hypotenuse / opposite
Csc = 1/sin
1 + cot^2θ = csc^2θ
