The word trigonometry is a derivation from the Greek language and means measurement of triangles.
Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer and mathematician developed the subject trigonometry.
The first trigonometric table was compiled by him. He is now known as “the Father of Trigonometry”.
Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer and mathematician developed the subject trigonometry.
The side that is opposite to the right angle is called the Hypotenuse. This is the longest side in a right triangle.
The side that is opposite to the angle i is called the Opposite side.
The side that is opposite to the angle i is called the Opposite side.
The side that runs alongside the angle q and which is not the Hypotenuse is called the Adjacent side.

Let q be an acute angle of a right triangle. Then the six trigonometric ratios of q are as follows
sin q = Hypotenuse/Opposite side
cosec q =Opposite side/Hypotenuse
cos q =Hypotenuse/Adjacent side
sec =Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
tan =Adjacent side/Opposite side
cot =Opposite side/Adjacent side
