If your calculator does not have sin, cos and tan buttons then you have a long task ahead.First, if the angle is measured in degrees, convert it to an angle measured in radians. To do this multiply the angle by pi and divide by 180.
Then
sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ... where k! represents 1*2*3*...*k.
cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + ...
Keep going until the series converges.
tan(x) is most easily calculated as sin(x)/cos(x).
Sine = -0.5 Cosine = -0.866 Tangent = 0.577
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
Cotangent is ' 1/tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine'.
Cos is short for Cosine ( Complementary Sine) Similrly Sin is short for Sine Tan is short for Tangent.
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
It is a trigonometric function, equivalent to the sine of an angle divided by the cosine of the same angle.
First make sure your calculator is in 'Degree Mode (D)'. Then using the 'Inverse' of 'Sin' , shown as 'ArcSin' or ' Sin^(-1)' . enter '0.5', followed by '=' . The answer should be '30' ( 30 degrees).
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
Reciprocal of tangent is '1 /tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine '
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
Cos is short for 'Cosine' / It is the complementary curve to 'Sine'.
