Then the trigonometrical ratios are defined as follows:
\[\sin \theta =\frac{\text{Perpendicual}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{AB}{AC}\]
\[\cos \theta =\frac{Base}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{BC}{AC}\]
\[\tan \theta =\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{Base}=\frac{AB}{BC}\]
\[\cot \theta =\frac{Base}{\text{Perpendicular}}=\frac{BC}{AB}\]
\[\sec \theta =\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{Base}=\frac{AC}{BC}\]
\[co\sec \theta =\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}=\frac{AC}{AB}\] AB
If we represent perpendicular, base and hypotenuse by P, b and h respectively then the ratios can be written as:
Relationship between Ratios
From the above, we conclude that sine of an angle is reciprocal to the cosec of that angle and so - on.
In the adjoining figure triangle DEF is a right angled triangle right angle at D. Then the trigonometrical identities are
1. \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]
2. \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1\]
3. \[co{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =1\]
We can also derive different relations between identities in different form
(a) \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]
or \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]
or \[\sin \theta =\pm \sqrt{1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\]
Similarly
\[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \]
or \[\cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]
(b) \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1\]
or \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta =1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta \]
or \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta =\sqrt{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta }\]
Similarly
\[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta -1\]
or \[\tan \theta =\pm \sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta -1}\]
(c) \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =1\]
or \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta =1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \]
or \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta =\pm \sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta }\]
Similarly
\[{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -1\]
or \[\cot \theta =\pm \sqrt{\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -1}\]
Verification of \[\mathbf{si}{{\mathbf{n}}^{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{\theta +co}{{\mathbf{s}}^{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{\theta =1}\]
Suppose \[\Delta \text{RST}\] is a right angled triangle in which right angle at R and angle S in formed at\[\theta \].
Here, perpendicular RT represented by "p", base RS represented by "b" and hypotenuse "ST" represented by h.
Then by Pythagoras theorem,
\[{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{h}^{2}}\]
As we know
\[\sin \theta =\frac{p}{h},\] \[\cos \theta =\frac{b}{h}\]
Therefore,
\[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}\,\,\text{and}\,\,{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}\]
\[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}=\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}=1\]
Therefore, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]
Similarly we can verify other results.
Above shows the different quadrants. The following are about the T- Ratios when angles lies in different quadrants
1. When the angle lies in the I quadrant all trigonometrical ratios are positive i.e. The value of \[\text{sin}\theta ,\text{ cos}\theta ,\text{ tan}\theta ,\text{ cot}\theta ,\text{ sec}\theta \]and \[\text{cosec}\theta \] are positive.
2. When the angle\[''\theta ''\] lies in the second quadrant, the value of sine and cosec are positive and other ratios like \[\text{cos}\theta ,\text{ tan}\theta ,\text{ cot}\theta \] and \[\text{sec}\theta \] are negative.
3. When an angle \[''\theta ''\] lies in third quadrant, the value of tan e and cote are positive and other ratios like \[\text{sin}\theta \text{,}\,\text{cos}\theta ,\text{ cosec}\theta \]and \[\sec \theta \] are negative.
4. When an angle \[''\theta ''\] lies in fourth quadrant, the value of \[\text{cos}\theta \text{ sec}\theta \] are positive and other ratios like \[\text{sin}\theta ,\text{ tan}\theta ,\text{ cosec}\theta \] and cote are negative.

The above given number line shows different rational numbers with denominator as 2.
Important Points Related to Number Line which Represents Rational Number
(i) A particular point on the number line represents a particular rational number.
(ii) A rational number cannot be represented by two or more than two distinct points on a number line.
(iii) There are infinite points between two distinct points on a line, hence, there are infinite rational numbers between two rational numbers.
Method to find Rational Numbers between Two Rational Numbers
(i) Suppose A and B be two rational number then a rational number which is in between A and B is \[\frac{1}{2}(A+B)\].
(ii) Suppose A and B be two rational number in which A < B, then the n rational numbers between A and B are \[(A+x),(A+2x),\] .............. \[(A+nx)\]. Where \[x=\frac{B-A}{n+1}\]
