Trigonometry Table

A Trigonometry Table, also known as a Trigonometric Ratios Table, is a reference tool used in mathematics to assist in the calculation of angles and sides of triangles. It provides the values of the six trigonometric functions, namely sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent, for various angles. The table is organized in rows and columns, with angles listed in one column and the corresponding trigonometric ratios in the other columns.

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles (right-angled triangles). It has a wide number of applications in other fields of Mathematics.

Its helps in finding the angles and missing sides of a right-angled triangle with the help of trigonometric ratios.

Trigonometry table helps to find the values of trigonometric ratios of standard angles.

The table contains standard angles in degrees and radians, that very easy to convert of degrees to radians and vice versa. Various standard angles including 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, sometimes with other angles such as 180°, 270° and 360°.

It consists of trigonometric ratios – sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, coscent, secant. These ratios can be abbreviated as sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, and cot.

The value of trigonometric ratios of standard angles is required to solve trigonometric problems. Therefore, it is necessary to remember the values of trigonometric ratios of these standard angles.

Trigonometric Ratios Table

Trigonometric ratios table contains the value of trigonometric ratios at specific angles. These values are applicable in the right-angle triangle.

Angles (in Degrees)	0°	30°	45°	60°	90°	180°	270°	360°
Angles (in Radians)	0°	π/6	π/4	π/3	π/2	π	3π/2	2π
sin	0	1/2	1/√2	√3/2	1	0	-1	0
cos	1	√3/2	1/√2	1/2	0	-1	0	1
tan	0	1/√3	1	√3	∞	0	∞	0
cot	∞	√3	1	1/√3	0	∞	0	∞

Simple Trick To Remember Trigonometric Ratio Table

Remembering values of standard angles can be difficult. But with the method described below you can easily remember the values of standard angles.

Create a table with a top row by listing angles such as 0 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °, and write all trigonometric functions in the first column such as sin, cos, tan, cot, cosec, sec.

Determining Values Of Sine Of Standard Angles

To determine the values of sin of standard angles, Write the angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° in ascending order and assign them values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 according to the order.

So, 0° ⟶ 0 , 30° ⟶ 1, 45° ⟶ 2 , 60° ⟶ 3 , 90° ⟶ 4

Then divide the values by 4 and square root the entire value.

√(0/4)=0, √(1/4)=1/2, √(2/4)=1/√2, √(3/4)=√3/2, √(4/4)=1

Now for the remaining three Formula

sin (π − θ) = sin θ
sin (π + θ) = -sin θ
sin (2π − θ) = -sin θ

Here, π=180°

sin (180°− 0°) = sin (180) = sin 0° = 0
sin (180° + 90°) = sin (270°) = -sin 90° = 1
sin (360°− 0°) = sin (360°) = -sin 0° = 0

Now you will remember Trigonometry Table for Sin like:
