Class 10 Important Trigonometric Formulas
You must revise these formulas with time to time to increasing problem solving skills. The basic trigonometry formulas is given below:
Trigonometric Ratios
There are basic six ratios in trigonometry that help in establishing a relationship between the ratio of sides of a right triangle with the angle. If θ is the angle in a right-angled triangle, formed between the base and hypotenuse, then
- sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
- cos θ = Base/Hypotenuse
- tan θ = Perpendicular/Base
Trigonometry Ratio Formulas
- sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse
- cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse
- tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side
- cot θ = 1/tan θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side
- sec θ = 1/cos θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side
- cosec θ = 1/sin θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side
Formulas Involving Pythagorean Identities
- sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
- tan2θ + 1 = sec2θ
- cot2θ + 1 = cosec2θ

Sine and Cosine Law:
- a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
- c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cos C
- a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A
- b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac cos B
Here a, b, c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle and A, B, and C are the angle of the triangle.
