The short hand notation (and most commonly used notation) for these functions are: sin (sine), cos (cosine), tan (tangent), csc (cosecant), and cot (cotangent).

A few other things to take note of are as follows: The oriented angle \(\alpha\) is represented by the axis of positive abscissas (the half-line \([OI)\) and the half-line \(D_1\), and its measure in radians is thus the length of the (oriented) arc \(\overset=\tan\alpha\).The six trigonometric functions are used to either find the missing side length of a triangle, figure out the measurement of a missing angle when only the side lengths of a right triangle are known, and to figure out the lengths of the sides relate to the angle that is being measured. The circle \(C\) is the trigonometric circle, centered at \(O=(0,0)\) and with radius \(1\).

Thus, the measure of the perimeter of the trigonometric circle is the measure of the direct full angle that of the direct flat angle is \(\pi\) and the measure of the direct right angle is \(\pi/2\). whether the arc is run in the direct or indirect sense). By definition, the measure of the angle, in radians, is the length of this arc of circle, with a sign according to the orientation of the angle (i.e. This intersection is a point in the plane, which determines the end of an arc of circle based on the point \((1,0)\) (noted \(I\)). The measurement of angles in radians, positive or negative if we are talking about oriented angles, is relative to the representation of angles on the circle with centre ((0,0)\) and radius \(1\) (see Drawing a circle on the plane: equations and parameters), which is called the trigonometric circle.Īn angle oriented between two half-lines being related to the origin of the Euclidean plane and to the half-axis of the positive abscissae, the first half-line identified with the positive part of the angle of the abscissae, one considers the intersection of the second half-line with the trigonometric circle. What does this way of measuring angles correspond to, in other words what does this measuring unit correspond to? A full angle measures \(2\pi\) radians, a flat angle \(\pi\) radians, and a right angle \(\pi/2\) radians. theoretical, measure unit of oriented angles is the radian. The oriented angle \(\alpha\) between the half-lines \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) is the same as the oriented angle \(\beta\) between the half-lines \(D_1’\) and \(D_2’\), and its measure is 40 degrees. For example, a half turn to the left corresponds to an angle of 90 degrees while a half turn to the right corresponds to an angle of -90 degrees. In order to speak about the measure of an oriented angle, it is necessary to give it a sign. Carrying out a translation and a rotation, we can always represent such an angle from the origin of the plane, taking as the first half-line the half-axis of the positive abscissas (see the following figure).

Such an angle is represented by two half-lines based at the same point, and its measurement is considered positive in the direct direction (i.e. a quarter turn) measures 90 degrees or 100 grades.

a half turn) measures 180 degrees or 200 grades, a right angle (i.e. a complete turn) measures 360 degrees or 400 grades, a flat angle (i.e. The practical measuring units of angles are the degree and the grade a full angle (i.e. The trigonometric circle and the circular representation of angles 1.1. In this article, we propose a definition of the sine, cosine and tangent of an oriented angle from the trigonometric circle, and a geometric interpretation naturally associated with Thales and Pythagoras theorems. Trigonometry is the study of the relationships between angles and the lengths of the sides in a triangle, and by extension of trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine and tangent.
