Trigonometric ratios for 60 degrees

Trigonometric Ratios for 60 Degrees: Value for the Trigonometrical Ratios for certain angle such as $30^0$ , $60^0$ , $90^0$ and $45^0$ are commonly called standard angles and the trigonometrical ratios of these angles are frequently used to solve particular angles. In this section we will derive the value of trigonometric ratios for $60^0$ .

Consider an equilateral $Delta ; ABC$ with each side = 2a units

We know that each angle of $Delta ABC; is ; 60^o.$ Moreover in an equilateral triangle the altitude and median coincide. From A, draw $AD ; perp ; BC.$

As AD is the median also therefore D is the mid - point of BC,

As BC = 2a units

BD = DC = a units

Also, $angle ADB=90^o$ [ AD is perpendicular BC ]

and $angle ABD = 60^0$ [ Each angle in equilateral triangle is $60^0$ ]

Therefore in triangle ABD $angle BAD=30^o$ [Angle Sum Property]

Now $Delta ADB,$ is a right angled triangle so by pythagorous theorem

$AB^2 = AD^2 + BD^2$

$AD =sqrt {AB^2-BD^2}$

Substituting the value of AB and BD

$=sqrt {(2a)^2-a^2}=sqrt {3a^2}=sqrt {3}a; units$

In right $Delta ADB,$ we have $angle BAD;=30^0$

$Adjacent; angle A= AD=sqrt {3}a, ; Opposite ;angle A=BD=a ;$

$; and ;Hypoteneous =AB=2a$

Thus, we have

$sin ; 60^o=frac{Opposite}{Hypoteneous}=frac {AD}{AB}=frac {sqrt {3}a}{2a}=frac {sqrt {3}}{2}$

$cos ; 60^o=frac{Adjacent}{Hypoteneous}=frac {BD}{AB}=frac {a}{2a}=frac {1}{2}$

$tan ; 60^o=frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}=frac {AD}{BD}=frac {sqrt {3}a}{a}=sqrt {3}$

$cosec ; 60^o=frac {1}{sin ; 60^o}=frac {1}{sqrt {3}}$

$sec ; 60^o=frac {1}{cos ; 60^o}=2$

$cot ; 60^o=frac {1}{tan ; 60^o}=frac {1}{sqrt {3}}$

$large angle A$	sin A	cos A	tan A	cosec A	sec A	cot A
$large 60^{circ}$	$large frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$	$large frac{1}{2}$	$large sqrt{3}$	$large frac{2}{sqrt{3}}$	2	$large frac{1}{sqrt{3}}$

Illustration: Simplify the given expression $(tan ;60^0 +1) times (1- cot; 60^0)$

Solution: To solve this expression we will substitute the value of the ratios at $60^0$

$(tan ;60^0 +1) times (1- cot; 60^0)$

$=(sqrt3 +1);(1-frac{1}{sqrt3})$

$=(sqrt3 +1);times (frac{sqrt3 -1}{sqrt3})$

$=frac{(sqrt3 +1);times (sqrt3 -1)}{sqrt3}$

$=frac{3 -1}{sqrt3}$

$=frac{2}{sqrt3}$
