RD Sharma Class 11 Solutions Chapter 5 - Trigonometric Functions (Ex 5.2) Exercise 5.2 - Free PDF

RD Sharma Class 11 Chapter 5 Trigonometric Functions is an important chapter for students and they should not miss it. It contains a lot of formulas and can be quite tricky to learn but at Vedantu, we provide simpler methods which are easy to understand for the students to get the concept and score good marks in exams. This chapter requires a lot of focus and practice because of the number of formulas that are there.Trigonometric functions are also known as angle functions and are developed to solve problems regarding triangles. The functions used are Sin, Cos, tan and their reciprocal identities are cosecant, secant and cotangent. Students will come across a lot of different identities in this chapter which they will need to learn because it is needed in their higher class as well. 

RD Sharma Solutions for Class 11 chapter 5 is provided in easy and understandable terms for better understanding of students who are writing their boards and other competitive exams soon. It is provided with a step by step method keeping in mind that each student has a different level of understanding.

1. Sin0 = opposite/ hypotenuse 

= AC/BC 

2. Cos0= adjacent/ hypotenuse 

=  AB/ BC 

3. Tan0= opposite/adjacent 

=  AC/ AB 

4. cosec 0= 1/(sin0) 

=  hypotenuse/ opposite 

= BC/ AC 

5. Sec 0= 1/(Cos0) 

= hypotenuse/ adjacent 

BC/ AB 

6. Cot0= 1/(tan0)

= Adjacent/opposite 

= AB/ AC 

Secant, cosecant and cotangent are the three functions which are derived from sine, cos, and tan, which are the primary functions. The reciprocal of sine, cos, and tan are cosecant, secant, and cotangent respectively. They are also written as cosec, sec and cot functions. 

What are the 6 trigonometric functions to keep in mind while learning this chapter and what are the uses of these functions? 

They are Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Secant, Cosecant and Cotangent. These trigonometric functions are used to find the unknown angle or side of a right-angled triangle.
