Trigonometric Ratios Formulas — Class 9 ICSE

Define sine, cosine, and tangent ratios and solve problems involving right triangles.

Key Formulas

sin

\sin\theta = \dfrac{\text{Opp}}{\text{Hyp}}

cos

\cos\theta = \dfrac{\text{Adj}}{\text{Hyp}}

tan

\tan\theta = \dfrac{\text{Opp}}{\text{Adj}}

Identity

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

Standard Values

\sin 30° = \dfrac{1}{2}, \quad \sin 45° = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \quad \sin 60° = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Worked Examples

1Using: sin 30

Find sin 30 + cos 60.

Step 1: sin 30 = 1/2, cos 60 = 1/2.

Step 2: Sum = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1.

Answer: 1

2Using: tan identity

If tan A = 3/4, find sin A.

Step 1: In right triangle: opposite = 3, adjacent = 4.

Step 2: hypotenuse = 5. sin A = 3/5.

Answer: 3/5
