The two basic trigonometric functions are: sine (which we have already studied), and cosine. By taking ratios and reciprocals of these functions, we obtain four other functionscalled tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent.

| These are the core values to be used in the trigonometric functions. They are often called as SOHCAHTOA. They can be used in the Pythagorean theorem. To determine the Opposite , Adjacent side as well as with the Hypotenuse. So let's try to use them.  Notice that sin,cos,tan are just opposite with csc, sec and cot. Lets say we had a right triangle that we wanted to find the secant. The 2 other sides were 8cm and 4cm and the hypotenuse is 8.94cm. You would use the SOHCAHTOA in order to find the secant. So that means Secant is...  |
