Addition Formulas:

  • cos(X+Y) = cosXcoxY – sinXsinY
  • cos(X-Y) = cosXcoxY + sinXsinY
  • sin(X+Y) = sinXcoxY + cosXsin
  • sin(X-Y) = sinXcoxY – cosXsinY
  • tan(X+Y) = [tanX+tanY]/ [1– tanXtanY]
  • tan(X-Y) = [tanX-tanY]/ [1+ tanXtanY]
  • cot(X+Y) = [cotX+cotY-1]/ [cotX+cotY]
  • cot(X-Y) = [cotX+cotY+1]/ [cotX-cotY]

Sum to Product Formulas:

  • cosX + cosY = 2cos [(X+Y) / 2] cos[(X-Y)/2]
  • sinX + sinY = 2sin [(X+Y) / 2] cos[(X-Y)/2]

Difference to Product Formulas

  • cosX - cosY = - 2sin [(X+Y) / 2] sin[(X-Y)/2]
  • sinX + sinY = 2cos [(X+Y) / 2] sin[(X-Y)/2]


Product to Sum/Difference Formulas

  • cosXcosY = (1/2) [cos (x-Y) + cos (X+Y)]
  • sinXcoxY = (1/2) [sin (x+Y) + sin (X-Y)]
  • cosXsinY = (1/2) [sin (x+Y) + sin (X-Y)]
  • sinXsinY = (1/2) [cos (x-Y) + cos (X+Y)]

Difference of Squares Formulas

  • sin2X – sin2Y = sin (X+Y) sin (X-Y)
  • cos2X – cos2Y = - sin (X+Y) sin (X-Y)
  • cos2X – sin2Y = cos (X+Y) cos (X-Y)

Double Angle Formulas

  • sin (2X) = 2 sin X cos X
  • cos (2X) = 1 – 2sin2X= 2cos2X – 1
  • tan(2X) = 2tanX/[1-tan2X]

Multiple Angle Formulas

Key Angle Formulas (cont’d)Co-functions
Each trigonometric function has a co-function with symmetric properties in Quadrant I. The following identities express the relationships between co-functions.
  • sinq= con(900- q)
  • Cosq = sin(900- q)
  • tanq = cot(900- q)
  • cotq = tan(900- q)
  • secq = cosec(900- q)
  • cosecq =sec(900- q)
Law of Sines
a/sinA = b/sinB= c/sinC

 Law of Cosines
a2 = b2 +c2 – 2bcCosA
b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac CosB
c2 = a2 + b2 – 2abCosC

 Pythagorean Identities
a. sin2 X + cos2 X = 1
b. 1 + tan2 X = cec2 X
a. 1 + cot2 X = csc2 X

Given Three Sides and no Angles (SSS)
  • Given three segment lengths and no angle measures, do the following:
  • Use the Law of Cosines to determine the measure of one angle.
  • Use the Law of Sines to determine the measure of one of the two remaining angles.
Subtract the sum of the measures of the two known angles from 180˚ to obtain the measure of the remaining angle.

Given Two Sides and the Angle between Them (SAS)
Given two segment lengths and the measure of the angle that is between them, do the following:
  • Use the Law of Cosines to determine the length of the remaining leg.
  • Use the Law of Sines to determine the measure of one of the two remaining angles.
  • Subtract the sum of the measures of the two known angles from 180˚ to obtain the measure of the remaining angle.
Given One Side and Two Angles (ASA or AAS)
Given one segment length and the measures of two angles, do the following:

  • Subtract the sum of the measures of the two known angles from 180˚ to obtain the measure of the remaining angle.
  • Use the Law of Sines to determine the lengths of the two remaining legs.

Some Important Tricks





Remember Useful Point :

  •  tan1. tan2. ……… tan89 = 1
  • cot1. cot2 ……. Cot890 = 1
  • cos10.cos20…… cos900 = 0
  • cos10.cos20…… to (greater than cos900) = 0
  • sin10.sin20.sin30 ……… sin1800 = 0
  • sin10. sin20 sin30 ….. to (greater than sin1800) = 0

Easy way to understand Direct and Indirect speech rules

Introduction. There two ways to convey a message of a person, or the words spoken by a person to other person. 1.       Direct speech 2.       Indirect speech Suppose your friend whose name is Vipul tells you in College , “I will give you a pen”. You come to home and you want to tell your brother what your friend told you. There are two ways to tell him. Direct speech:   Vipul said, “I will give you a pen”. Indirect Speech:  Vipul said that he would give me a pen. In direct speech   the original words of person are narrated (no change is made) and are enclosed in quotation mark. While in indirect speech some changes are made in original words of the person because these words have been spoken in past so the tense will change accordingly and pronoun may also be changed accordingly. In indirect speech  the statement of the person is not enclosed in quotation marks, the word “ t...
