cos A represents the cosine of angle A, where 'adjacent' is the length of the side adjacent to angle A. Used to find the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
tan A = opposite/adjacent
tan A represents the tangent of angle A. It is the ratio of the sine of angle A to the cosine of angle A. Useful for finding the slope in geometry.
cosec A = 1/sin A
cosec A is the cosecant of angle A, the reciprocal of sin A. Used in trigonometric identities and equations.
sec A = 1/cos A
sec A is the secant of angle A, the reciprocal of cos A. Important in trigonometric functions and identities.
cot A = 1/tan A
cot A is the cotangent of angle A, the reciprocal of tan A. Used in various trigonometric calculations.
sin² A + cos² A = 1
This is the Pythagorean identity, showing the fundamental relation between sin A and cos A in a right triangle.
1 + tan² A = sec² A
