Angles and Trigonometry
Angle Measurement & Conversion
Definition: An angle (, কোণ) is defined as the ratio of the arc length (, বৃত্ত চাপ) to the radius (, ব্যাসার্ধ), expressed as .
- Units: The primary units are Degrees and Radians.
- Conversions:
- Sub-units of Degrees:
Trigonometric Ratios & Identities
Core Ratios and Values: Based on a right-angled triangle with Perpendicular (), Base (), and Hypotenuse ():
- Pythagorean Identities:
- Additional Formulas:
- Small Angle Approximation ()
When the Angle Is Very Small (Typically less than ), the Trigonometric Functions Simplify Drastically.- ! CRITICAL: For and , Must Be Converted to Radians for This to Work!
Angles Greater than 90° (ASTC Rule)
-
The quadrant system determines the sign of the trigonometric ratio:
- Quadrant I: All positive.
- Quadrant II: Sin and Cosec positive.
- Quadrant III: Tan and Cot positive.
- Quadrant IV: Cos and Sec positive.
-
When calculating using :
- is the Quadrant number.
- If is even, the function remains the same (e.g., ).
- If is odd, the function changes (e.g., , , ).
Negative Angles
Here and are positive with negative angles, while remain negative.
The 37° / 53° Special Triangle
In a 3-4-5 right-angled triangle, the angle opposite to the side of length 3 is , and the angle opposite to the side of length 4 is . The hypotenuse is always 5. The angles are interchangeable
- For 37° Angle:
- For 53° Angle:
Geometric Progression (GP)
A sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the Common Ratio ().
- Divergent Series: The terms keep growing (e.g., ) and the sum tends to infinity.
- Convergent Series: The terms get progressively smaller (e.g., ).
- Common Ratio (): .
- Sum of Infinite Convergent Series:
(where is the first term and ).
Example Calculation
Q: Find the sum of the series: (where )
Solution:
Binomial Approximation
When dealing with expansions of powers, we can use a simplified approximation if the second term is extremely small compared to .
- Formula: (Valid strictly when ).
