Trigonometry Calculator

This trigonometry calculator will help you in two popular cases when trigonometry is needed. If you want to find the values of sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocal functions, use the first part of the calculator. Are you searching for the missing side or angle in a right triangle using trigonometry? Our tool is also a safe bet! Type 2-3 given values in the second part of the calculator, and you'll find the answer in a blink of an eye. Scroll down if you want to learn about trigonometry and where you can apply it.

There are many other useful tools when dealing with trigonometry problems. Check out two popular trigonometric laws with the law of sines calculator and our law of cosines calculator, which will help you to solve any kind of triangle.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics. The word itself comes from the Greek trigōnon (which means "triangle") and metron ("measure"). As the name suggests, trigonometry deals primarily with angles and triangles; in particular, it defines and uses the relationships and ratios between angles and sides in triangles. The primary application is thus solving triangles, precisely right triangles, and any other type of triangle you like.

Trigonometry has plenty of applications: from everyday life problems such as calculating the height or distance between objects to the satellite navigation system, astronomy, and geography. Also, sine and cosine functions are fundamental for describing periodic phenomena - thanks to them, we can describe oscillatory movements (as in our simple pendulum calculator) and waves like sound, vibration, or light.

Many fields of science and engineering use trigonometry and trigonometric functions, namely: music, acoustics, electronics, medicine and medical imaging, biology, chemistry, meteorology, electrical, mechanical, civil engineering, and even economics... The trigonometric functions are really all around us!

To find the trigonometric functions of an angle, enter the chosen angle in degrees or radians. Underneath the calculator, the six most popular trig functions will appear - three basic ones: sine, cosine, and tangent, and their reciprocals: cosecant, secant, and cotangent. Additionally, if the angle is acute, the right triangle will be displayed, which can help you understand how the functions may be interpreted.

To find the missing sides or angles of the right triangle, all you need to do is enter the known variables into the trigonometry calculator. You need only two given values in the case of:

• one side and one angle
• two sides
• area and one side

Remember that if you know two angles, it's not enough to find the sides of the triangle. Two triangles having the same shape (which means they have equal angles) may be of different sizes (not the same side length) - that kind of relationship is called triangle similarity. If the sides have the same length, then the triangles are congruent.

Trigonometry is the study of the relationships within a triangle. For right-angled triangles, the ratio between any two sides is always the same and is given as the trigonometry ratios, cos, sin, and tan. Trigonometry can also help find some missing triangular information, e.g., the sine rule.

1. Find which two of these you have: the hypotenuse, adjacent or opposite side, or angle.
2. Work out which of the remaining options you are trying to calculate.
3. Choose which relationship you need (remember, SOHCAHTOA).
4. Fill in the data you have into the equation.
5. Rearrange and solve for the unknown.
6. Check your answers with our trig calculator.

Trigonometry can be hard at first, but after some practice, you will master it! Here are some trigonometry tips:

• Label the hypotenuse, adjacent, and opposite sides on your triangle to help you figure out what identity to use.
• Remember the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA for the trigonometric relationships!

Trigonometry is used to find information about all triangles, and right-angled triangles in particular. Since triangles are everywhere in nature, trigonometry is used outside of math in fields such as construction, physics, chemical engineering, and astronomy.

Since trigonometry is the relationship between angles and sides of a triangle, no one invented it, it would still be there even if no one knew about it! The first people to discover part of trigonometry were the Ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, but Euclid and Archemides first proved the identities, although they did it using shapes, not algebra.

Trigonometry is usually taught to teenagers aged 13-15, which is grades 8 & 9 in the USA and years 9 & 10 in the UK. The exact age at which trigonometry is taught depends on the country, school, and pupils' ability.

1. Find which trigonometric relationship you are using with SOHCAHTOA.
2. Take the inverse identity of your decimal, e.g., sin⁻¹(0.5).
3. The resulting number is the degree of your angle.
4. Check your results with our trigonometry calculators.

1. Draw your triangle and mark the height. You will have to split the triangle into two smaller triangles.
2. Solve either of these remaining triangles using regular trigonometry to find the height. The opposite or adjacent will now be the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle.
