What is Trigonometry?
The word Trigonometry is derived
from The Greek words tri meaning
three , gon meaning sides and
metron meaning measure.
Therefore , trigonometry is the study
of relationship between the sides and
angles of a triangle..

Evolution of Trigonometry
HIPPARCHUS was the FATHER OF
TRIGONOMETRY.
The modernsine functionwas first defined in theSURYA
SIDDHANTA, and its properties were further documented
by the 5th century (CE)Indian Mathematicianand
astronomerARYABHATA. These Greek and Indian works
were translated and expanded byMEDIVAL ISLAMIC
MATHEMATICIANS. By the 10th century, Islamic
mathematicians were using all six trigonometric
functions, had tabulated their values, and were applying
them to problems inSPHERICAL GEOMETRY.At about the
same time,CHINESEmathematicians developed
trigonometry independently, although it was not a major
field of study for them. Knowledge of trigonometric

Trigonometric ratios :-

Important Points :The ratios of an acute angle in a

right
angle express the
relationship between the length of
its sides and angle.
The values of the trigonometric
ratios of an angle do not vary with
the lengths of the sided of the
triangle , if the angle remains the
same.
The value 0f sin A or cos A never

Applications Of
Trigonometry:The sine and
cosine
functions are
fundamental to
the theory of
periodic
functions such
as those that
describe sound

.

It is used in
oceanography in
calculating the
height of tides
in oceans.

It is used in
fnding the
distance
between
celestial bodies.

Field that are based on

trigonometry:Fields that use trigonometry or trigonometric
functions includeastronomy(especially for
locating apparent positions of celestial
objects, in which spherical trigonometry is
essential) and hencenavigation(on the
oceans, in aircraft, and in space),music
theory,audio synthesis,optics, analysis of
financial markets,
electronics,statistics,biology,medical
imaging(CAT scans

thanks to my maths teacher MS.
SNEHA MA,AM who helped and
guided me in making this project. I
would also like to thanks my friends
and parents who helped me in my
project.
THANKING YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN
