Learning the trigonometric table doesn't require memorizing dozens of numbers. You can easily construct the entire sine and cosine table using a simple step-by-step counting trick.
To remember the above values:
Step I: Write down numbers from 0 to 4
For the standard angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°), write down consecutive integers starting from 0 up to 4:
0 1 2 3 4
Step II: Divide each number by 4
\(\frac{0}{4}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{2}{4}\), \(\frac{3}{4}\), \(\frac{4}{4}\)
Step III: Take the positive square root of each fraction
sin 0° = \(\sqrt{\frac{0}{4}}\) = 0
sin 30° = \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
sin 45° = \(\sqrt{\frac{2}{4}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
sin 60° = \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
sin 90° = \(\sqrt{\frac{4}{4}}\) = 1.
Step IV: Reverse the order for Cosine (cos θ)
To get the values for cos θ, simply write the sine values in reverse order (start from 90° and move down to 0°):
cos 0° = sin 90° = 1
cos 30° = sin 60° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
cos 45° = sin 45° = \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
cos 60° = sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
cos 90° = sin 0° = 0.
Note: Write the values of sin 0°, sin 30°, sin 45°, sin 60° and sin 90° in reverse order and get the values of cos 0°, cos 30°, cos 45°, cos 60° and cos 90° respectively.
If θ be an acute angle, the values of sin θ and cos θ lie between 0 and 1 (both inclusive).
The sine values of the standard angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° are respectively the positive square roots of \(\frac{0}{4}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{2}{4}\), \(\frac{3}{4}\), and \(\frac{4}{4}\).
Since we know the sin and cos values of the standard angles from the table, we can easily find the values of the other trigonometric ratios of standard angles.
Using basic reciprocal relationships (csc θ = \(\frac{1}{sin θ}\), sec θ = \(\frac{1}{cos θ}\), cot θ = \(\frac{1}{tan θ}\) and quotient rules tan θ = \(\frac{sin θ}{cos θ}\), we find the values for all six standard functions:
The cosecant or cosec of the standard angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°:
csc 0° = not defined.
csc 30° = 2
csc 45° = √2
csc 60° = \(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}\)
csc 90° = 1.
The secant of the standard angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°:
sec 0° = 1
sec 30° = \(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}\)
sec 45° = √2
sec 60° = 2
sec 90° = not defined.
The cotangent of the standard angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°:
cot 0° = not defined.
cot 30° = √3
cot 45° = 1

tan 0° = 0
tan 30° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\)
tan 45° = 1
tan 60° = √3
tan 90° = not defined.

Remember: Values for csc, sec, and cot can be derived using the reciprocal identities above.
Note:
(i) For sin values: Start from 0 and go up.
(ii) For cos values: Start from 1 and go down.
This is why sin increases and cos decreases.
(iii) sin values go up, cos values go down
(iv) At 45°, both are equal. This helps you avoid confusion.

1. If the csc of an angle complementary to A be \(\frac{2√3}{3}\), find tan A.
Solution:
csc (Complementary of ∠A) = \(\frac{2√3}{3}\)
[Using trigonometric ratio table, the value of csc 60° = \(\frac{2√3}{3}\)]
csc (Complementary of ∠A) = csc 60°
Complementary of ∠A = 60°
∠A = (90° - 60°)
∠A = 30°
Therefore, tan A = tan 30°
= \(\frac{√3}{3}\), [From Trig Ratios Table]
2. If A = 30° then show that, 2 sin A cos A = sin 2A
Solution:
L.H.S. = 2 sin A cos A
= 2 sin 30° cos 30°
[From the Trigonometrical Ratios Table, we get sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and cos 30° = \(\frac{√3}{2}\)]
= 2 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
R.H.S. = sin 2A
= sin (2 × 30°)
= sin 60°
[From the Trigonometrical Ratios Table, we get sin 60° = \(\frac{√3}{2}\)]
= \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
3. If A = 30° then show that, tan 2A = \(\frac{2 tan A}{1 - tan^{2} A}\).
Solution:
L.H.S. = tan 2A
= tan (2 × 30°)
= tan 60°
[From the Trigonometrical Ratios Table, we get tan 60° = √3]
= √3
R.H.S. = \(\frac{2 tan A}{1 - tan^{2} A}\)
= \(\frac{2 tan 30°}{1 - tan^{2} 30°}\)
[From the Trigonometric Ratios Table, we get tan 30° = \(\frac{√3}{3}\)]
= \(\frac{2 × \frac{√3}{3}}{1 - (\frac{√3}{3})^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2√3}{3}}{1 - \frac{3}{9}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2√3}{3}}{\frac{9}{9} - \frac{3}{9}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2√3}{3}}{\frac{9 - 3}{9}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2√3}{3}}{\frac{6}{9}}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2√3}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}\)
= \(\frac{2√3}{3}\) × \(\frac{3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{6√3}{6}\)
= √3
Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
4. Find the exact value of sin 45° cos 30° + cos 45° sin 30° using trigonometric table.
Solution:
sin 45° cos 30° + cos 45° sin 30°
Plug-in the exact value of sin 45°, cos 30°, cos 45° and sin 30° from the trig ratios table
= \(\frac{√2}{2}\) × \(\frac{√3}{2}\) + \(\frac{√2}{2}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{√6}{4}\) + \(\frac{√2}{4}\)
= \(\frac{√6 + √2}{4}\)
5. tan \(\frac{π}{3}\), tan \(\frac{π}{4}\), tan \(\frac{π}{6}\) are in geometric progression.
Solution:
tan \(\frac{π}{3}\), tan \(\frac{π}{4}\), tan \(\frac{π}{6}\) are in geometric progression if,
tan\(^{2}\) \(\frac{π}{4}\) = tan \(\frac{π}{3}\) × tan \(\frac{π}{6}\)
Let's check
L.H.S. = tan\(^{2}\) \(\frac{π}{4}\)
= (1)2, [From trig ratios table tan \(\frac{π}{4}\) = 1]
= 1
R.H.S. = tan \(\frac{π}{3}\) × tan \(\frac{π}{6}\)
= √3 × \(\frac{√3}{3}\)
= \(\frac{3}{3}\)
= 1
Therefore, tan\(^{2}\) \(\frac{π}{4}\) = tan \(\frac{π}{3}\) × tan \(\frac{π}{6}\)
Thus, tan \(\frac{π}{3}\), tan \(\frac{π}{4}\), tan \(\frac{π}{6}\) are in G.P. (geometric progression).
6. Find the value of \(\frac{4}{3}\) tan2 60° + 3 cos2 30° - 2 sec2 30° - \(\frac{3}{4}\) cot2 60° using trigonometric table.
Solution:
The given trigonometric expression is
\(\frac{4}{3}\) tan2 60° + 3 cos2 30° - 2 sec2 30° - \(\frac{3}{4}\) cot2 60°
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) . (√3)2 + 3 . (\(\frac{√3}{2}\))2 - 2 . (\(\frac{2}{√3}\))2 - \(\frac{3}{4}\) . (\(\frac{1}{√3}\))2
[Since, the value of tan 60° = √3, cos 30° = \(\frac{√3}{2}\), sec 30° = \(\frac{2}{√3}\) and cot 60° = \(\frac{1}{√3}\)]
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) . 3 + 3 . \(\frac{3}{4}\) - 2 . \(\frac{4}{3}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\) . \(\frac{1}{3}\)
= 4 + \(\frac{9}{4}\) - \(\frac{8}{3}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{10}{3}\)
= 3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
7. If A = 30°, show that cos 2A = cos2 A - sin2 A
Solution:
L.H.S. = cos 2A
= cos 2 . 30°
= cos 60°
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)
R.H.S. = cos2 A - sin2 A
= cos2 30° - sin2 30°
= (\(\frac{√3}{2}\))2 - (\(\frac{1}{2}\))2
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
8. If A = 30°, show that 3 sin A - 4 sin3 A = sin 3A
Solution:
L.H.S. = 3 sin A - 4 sin3 A
= 3 sin 30° - 4 sin3 30°
= 3 . \(\frac{1}{2}\) - 4 (\(\frac{1}{2}\))3
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) - 4 . \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= 1
= sin 90° (Using trigonometric table)
= sin 3 . 30°
= sin 3A = R.H.S.
Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
9. If the cosine of an angle complementary to θ be \(\frac{1}{2}\), find the value of cot θ.
Solution:
Angle complementary to θ is 90° - θ.
Therefore, by question, cos (90° - θ) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = cos 60°
Therefore, 90° - θ = 60°
or, 90° - 60° = θ
or, θ = 30°
Therefore, cot θ = cot 30° = √3. (Using trigonometric table)
10. Find a value of θ which satisfies the equation cos 3θ = sin 2θ.
Solution:
Since, sin 2θ = cos (90° - 2θ),
Therefore, from the given equation we get,
cos 3θ = sin 2θ = cos (90° - 2θ)
Therefore, 3θ = 90° - 2θ
⟹ 3θ + 2θ = 90° - 2θ + 2θ; [Adding 2θ on both sides]
⟹ 5θ = 90°
⟹ θ = \(\frac{90}{5}\)°
⟹ θ = 18°
Therefore, the required value of θ is 18°.
11. Each angle A, B, C of the triangle ABC is acute and sin (B + C - A) = 1, tan (C + A - B) = √3; find A, B and C.
Solution:
Since A, B, C are the angles of ∆ABC
Therefore, A + B + C = 180° ................... (i)
Again, sin (B + C - A) = 1 = sin 90° (Using trigonometry table)
Therefore, B + C - A = 90° ................... (ii)
[Since each of the angles A, B, C is acute, hence, B + C > A]
And tan (C + A - B) = √3 = tan 60°, (Using trigonometry table)
Therefore, C + A - B = 60° ................... (iii)
[Since each of the angles A, B, C is acute, hence, C + A > B]
Now we add the equations (ii) and (iii)
We get
(B + C - A) + (C + A - B) = 90° + 60°
⟹ (B + C - A + C + A - B) = 150°
⟹ 2C = 150°
⟹ C = \(\frac{150}{2}\)°
⟹ C = 75°
Again, we add the equations (i) and (ii)
(A + B + C) + (B + C - A) = 180° + 90°
⟹ (A + B + C + B + C - A) = 270°
⟹ 2B + 2C = 270°
⟹ 2B + 2(75°) = 270°; [Since C= 75°]
⟹ 2B + 150° = 270°
⟹ 2B = 270° - 150°
⟹ 2B = 120°
⟹ B = \(\frac{120}{2}\)°
⟹ B = 60°
Now, putting the values of B and C in (i) we get,
A + 60° + 75° = 180°
⟹ A + 135° = 180°
⟹ A = 180° - 135°
⟹ A = 45°
Therefore, the required angles are:
A = 45°; B = 60°; C = 75°
12. If (x - 2)(sin \(\frac{π}{3}\) cos \(\frac{π}{6}\) + cos \(\frac{π}{3}\) sin \(\frac{π}{6}\)) = sec3 \(\frac{π}{3}\) + tan4 \(\frac{π}{4}\) - cosec2 \(\frac{π}{6}\), find the value of x.
Solution:
(x - 2)(sin \(\frac{π}{3}\) cos \(\frac{π}{6}\) + cos \(\frac{π}{3}\) sin \(\frac{π}{6}\)) = sec3 \(\frac{π}{3}\) + tan4 \(\frac{π}{4}\) - cosec2 \(\frac{π}{6}\)
⟹ (x - 2)(sin 60° cos 30° + cos 60° sin 30°) = sec3 60° + tan4 45° - cosec2 30°, [Since, π = 180°]
⟹ (x - 2)(\(\frac{√3}{2}\) . \(\frac{√3}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) . \(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 23 + 14 - 22
⟹ (x - 2)(\(\frac{3}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\)) = 8 + 1 - 4
⟹ (x - 2)(\(\frac{3 + 1}{4}\)) = 5
⟹ (x - 2)(\(\frac{4}{4}\)) = 5
⟹ (x - 2) (1) = 5
⟹ x - 2 = 5
⟹ x = 5 + 2
⟹ x = 7
Therefore, the value of x = 7.
