Physics – Trigonometric Ratios Read More »
What is Trigonometry? Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the angles and sides of triangles—especially right-angled triangles. It focuses on three main ratios: sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). Parts of a Right-Angled Triangle Consider a right-angled triangle with angle θ (theta): Hypotenuse: the longest side, opposite the right angle […]
