This trigonometry calculator enables you to compute all six fundamental trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot) for any given angle in degrees or radians.

How the Right Triangle Trigonometry Calculator Works

Use this tool to quickly find the value of any trigonometric function for an angle in a right triangle.

Input:

  • Choose the trigonometric function from the dropdown menu.
  • Enter the angle measure in degrees or radians.
  • Click “Calculate” to get the result instantly.

Output:

  • Displays the function value in both degrees and radians.
  • Shows a visual representation of the function on a triangle.

You can also determine triangle sides using the Law of Sines calculator.

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between angles and sides of triangles. This calculator quickly evaluates all six trigonometric ratios for any angle.

Sine (sin):

Ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse:

sin θ = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine (cos):

Ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse:

cos θ = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent (tan):

Ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side:

tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Secant (sec):

Reciprocal of cosine (hypotenuse over adjacent):

sec θ = Hypotenuse / Adjacent

Cosecant (csc):

Reciprocal of sine (hypotenuse over opposite):

csc θ = Hypotenuse / Opposite

Cotangent (cot):

Reciprocal of tangent (adjacent over opposite):

cot θ = Adjacent / Opposite

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse trig functions return the angle corresponding to a given ratio:

Arcsine:

arcsin x = sin⁻¹ x

Arccos:

arccos x = cos⁻¹ x

Arctan:

arctan x = tan⁻¹ x

Arccot:

arccot x = cot⁻¹ x

Arcsec:

arcsec x = sec⁻¹ x

Arccsc:

arccsc x = csc⁻¹ x

These functions allow you to convert ratios back into angles in degrees or radians.

Trigonometric Functions Summary

Function Description Relation (radians) Relation (degrees)
sin opposite / hypotenuse \(\sin \theta = \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}\) \(\sin x = \cos(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\csc x}\)
cos adjacent / hypotenuse \(\cos \theta = \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\sec \theta}\) \(\cos x = \sin(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\sec x}
tan opposite / adjacent \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\cot \theta}\) \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \cot(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\cot x}
cot adjacent / opposite \(\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \tan(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} \(\cot x = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = \tan(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\tan x}
sec hypotenuse / adjacent \(\sec \theta = \csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \(\sec x = \csc(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\cos x}
csc hypotenuse / opposite \(\csc \theta = \sec(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \(\csc x = \sec(90^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{\sin x}
