AN ANGLE: An angle is the amount of rotation of a revolving line w.r.t a fixed straight line (a figure
formed by two rays having common initial point.) The two rays or lines are called the sides of the angle and
common initial point is called the vertex of the angle.

Rotation of the initial arm to the terminal arm generates the angle.

• Angle is said to be +ve if rotation is anti clockwise. angle
• Angle is said to be -ve if rotation is clockwise. Initial

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT OF ANGLES:
a) Sexagesimal system: b) Centisimal system of angles:
In sexagesimal system of measurement, 1 right angle =100 grades =100g
the units of measurement are degrees, minutes and 1 grade =100 minutes =100'
seconds. 1' = 100 seconds =100''
1 right angle =90 degrees(90o);
1 degree = 60 minutes (60')
1 minute = 60 seconds (60'')
1c = 570 17' 45''; 10 = radian=0.01746 radian
180 o
(approximately)
Radian measure= x Degree measure i.e. To convert degrees into radians Multiply by
180 o 180 o
180 o 180 o
Degree measure= x Radian measure. i.e. To convert radians into degrees Multiply by
NOTE: 1. Radian is the unit to measure angle 2. It does not means that π stands for 1800 , π is real number,
where as π c stands for 1800

If one of the t-ratio is given , the values of other t-ratios can be obtained by constructing a right angled
triangle and using the trigonometric identities given above

MAXIMUM AND MININUM VALUES :
1. since sin2A+cos2A =1, hence each of sinA and cosA is numerically less than or equal to unity, that is
|sinA|≤1 and |cosA|≤1 i.e. -1≤sinA≤1 and -1≤cosA≤1
2. Since secA and cosecA are respectively reciprocals of cosA and sinA, therefore the values of secA and
cosecA are always numerically greater than or equal to unity. That is
secA≥1 or secA≤-1 and cosecA≥1 or cosecA≤-1, In otherwords we never have -1<cosecA<1 and
-1<secA<1

Short cut: Supposing we have to find the value of t- ratio of the angle θ
Step1: Find the sign of the t-ratio of θ , by finding in which quadrant the angle θ lies. This can be done
by applying the quadrant rule, i.e. ASTC Rule.
Step 2: Find the numerical value of the t-ratio of θ using the following method:
t-ratios of θ=
t- ratio of (1800- θ ) with proper sign if θ lies in the second quandrant
e.g.: cos1200 = -cos600 = -1/2
t-ratio of ( θ -180) with proper sign if θ lies in the third quandrant
e.g: sin2100 = -sin300 = -1/2
t-ratio of (360- θ ) with proper sign if θ lies in the fourth quandrant
2
e.g: cosec3000= -cosec600 = −
3
t-ratio of θ-n (3600 ) if θ>3600
d) If θ is greater than 3600 i.e. θ =n.3600 +α , then remove the multiples of 3600 (i.e. go on subtracting
from 3600 till you get the angle less than 3600 ) and find the t-ratio of the remaining angle by applying
the above method. e.g: tan10350 =tan6750 (1035-360) =tan3150 = -tan450 =-1
COMPLIMENTARY AND SUPPLIMENTARY ANGLES:
If θ is any angle then the angle - θ is its complement angle and the angle - θ is its
2
supplement angle.
a) trigonometric ratio of any angle = Co-trigonometric ratio of its complement
sin θ = cos(90- θ ), cos θ = sin(90- θ ), tan θ = cot(90- θ ) e.g. sin600 =cos300 , tan600 =cot300 .
b) sin of(any angle) = sin of its supplement ; cos of ( any angle) = -cos of its supplement
tan of any angle = - tan of its supplement i.e. sin 300 =sin 1500 , cos 600 =-cos 1200
CO-TERMINAL ANGLES: Two angles are said to be co terminal angles , if their terminal sides
are one and the same. e.g. θ and 360+ θ or θ and n.360+ θ ; - θ and 360- θ or - θ and n.360- θ
are co terminal angles : a) Trig functions of θ and n.360+ θ are same
b) Trig functions of -θ and n.360- θ are same .
TRIGNOMETRIC RATIOS OF NEGETIVE ANGLES:
For negative angles always use the following relations:
c) sin(- θ ) = -sin θ cos(- θ ) = cos θ, tan(- θ )= -tan θ , cosec(- θ )= -cosec θ ; se(- θ ) =sec θ ;
ci) cot(- θ) =sec θ(V.IMP)

SOLUTION OF TRIANGLES
To solve a triangle a) when all the 3 sides are given :

a,b, c i) Area of ∆= s s−a s−b s−c , 2s = a+b+c
2 2 2
sinA= , sinB= , sin C= OR
bc ac ab
iii) First, find two of the three angles by cosine formula, then the third angle is
determined by using the relation A+B+C=180 0. It is advisable to find the smallest
angle first. (angle opposite to the smallest side).
b) When two sides and an included angle is given:
GIVEN REQUIRED
a , b and C 1 A – B a – b C
i)Area of traingle=∆= a.b.SinC ; tan =[ ]cot

2 2 sinA
ii) Use cosine rule to find the third side. then find the smaller of the two angles
by cosine formula. Use A+B+C=1800 to find the third angle
iii)Use Napier's formula and find two angles, then the third side can be
determined sine rule or cosine rule or by projection rule.
c)when one side and two angles A and B are given:
GIVEN REQUIRED
a A and B asinB asinC
i) C =180-(A+B) ; b= ;c=
sinA sinA
d) When two sides and an angle opposite to one of them is given.
Let us assume that a,b, and A are given. Now we are required to find c,B and C. We just
cannot find c or C directly before finding B. There exist only one relation with which we can
b sinA asinC
find B i.e. by using sine Rule. sinB = ; C=180-(A+B); c=
a sinA
b sinA
CASES:i)When A is acute angle and a<bsinA; In this relation sinB= gives us that
a
sinB>1, which is impossible. then there exists no solution or no traingle.
ii)When A is acute angle and a=bsinA: In this case only one traingle is possible
which is rightangled at B. If a=bsinA , sinB =1, then B=900 there exist only one
solution or one traingle since A is given, we can find C using A+B+C=1800 . we can
find 'c' by any one of the rules.
iii)When A is acute angle and a>bsinA, sinB<1, then there exist two sub cases.
a) If a≥b, then A≥B, B must be acute. Thus there exists only one solution.
b) if b≥a, then B≥A., there exist two values to B for which this can be true .
one being acute and the other being obtuse.
When B is determined, we can find C using A+B+C =180 , then c by any one of the rules. this case is called
0
an ambiguous case since there exist no solution, one solution or two solutions depending on the cases.
Note: It is not advisable to use sine rule to find the angle in all other cases. since it always gives an ambiguous result.
Use sine rule to find the angle only when it is inevitable.

THE SPIRIT OF MATHEMATICS
The only way to learn mathematics is to recreate it for oneself -J.L.Kelley
The objects of mathematical study are mental constructs. In order to understand these one
must study , meditate, think and work hard -SHANTHINARYAN
Mathematical theories do not try to find out the true nature of things, that would be an
unreasonable aim for them. Their only purpose is to co-ordinate the physical laws we find
from experience but could not even state without the aid of mathematics. -A. POINCARE
Experience and intution, though usually obtained more painfully, may be doveloped by
mathematical insight. -R Aris
