Trig Flashcards
Sin(Θ)
Sin of angle Θ is O/H or
Opposite ÷ Hypotenuse
Trig Function
Cos(Θ)
Cos of angle Θ is A/H or Adjacent ÷ Hypotenuse
Tan(Θ)
Tan of angle Θ is O/A or Opposite ÷ Adjacent
CSC(Θ)
CSC is H/O or Hypotenuse ÷ Opposite
CSC is reciprocal to Sin
Sec(Θ)
Sec is H/A or Hypotenuse ÷ Adjacent
Sec is reciprocal to Cos
Cot(Θ)
Cot is A/O or Adjacent ÷ Opposite
Cot is reciprocal to Tan
Reciprocal Identity For SinΘ
secΘ = 1/cscΘ
1/(H/O) just flip csc upside down

Reciprocal Identity for cosΘ
cosΘ = 1/secΘ
Reciprocal Identity for secΘ
secΘ = 1/cosΘ
Reciprocal Identity for tanΘ
tanΘ = 1/cotΘ
Reciprocal Identity for cotΘ
cotΘ = 1/tanΘ
Quotient Identity for tanΘ
tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ
Quotient Identity for cotΘ
cotΘ = cscΘ/secΘ
List the three pythangorean identities
sin²Θ + cos²Θ = 1
1 + tan²Θ = sec²Θ Or 1 = sec²Θ - tan²Θ
cot²Θ + 1 = csc²Θ Or 1 = csc²Θ -cot²Θ
These can all be derived from the Pythagorean theorem a²+b²=c² of a right triangle. The second
