In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions) are functions of an angle. They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other applications.

Definition The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse", so the formal definition is: In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, the square of a (a²) plus the square of b (b²) is equal to the square of c (c²): a2 + b2 = c2 Sure ... ? Let's see if it really works using an example. A "3,4,5" triangle has a right angle in it, so the formula should work. Let's check if the areas are the same: 32 + 42 = 52 Calculating this becomes: 9 + 16 = 25 Yes, it works ! Why Is This Useful?
