Trigonometry table calculator
Trigonometry tables are used to calculate the values of trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, tangent, etc. at various angles. Here is an example of how you can create a trigonometry table calculator:
- Determine the range of angles for your table. For example, you might want to calculate values for angles from 0 to 360 degrees.
- Choose the increment for your angles. For example, you might want to calculate values for every 5 degrees.
- Set up a table with columns for angle, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.
- Starting with the minimum angle, calculate the values of sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent using the appropriate formulas.
- Record the values in the table.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each subsequent angle until you reach the maximum angle.
Here is a trigonometry table that shows the values of the sine, cosine, and tangent functions for angles from 0 to 360 degrees in increments of 15 degrees:
Angle (deg) Sine (sin) Cosine (cos) Tangent (tan) 0 0 1 0 15 0.259 0.966 0.268 30 0.5 0.866 0.577 45 0.707 0.707 1.0 60 0.866 0.5 1.732 75 0.966 0.259 3.732 90 1 0 Undefined 105 0.966 -0.259 -3.732 120 0.866 -0.5 -1.732 135 0.707 -0.707 -1.0 150 0.5 -0.866 -0.577 165 0.259 -0.966 -0.268 180 0 -1 0 195 -0.259 -0.966 0.268 210 -0.5 -0.866 0.577 225 -0.707 -0.707 1.0 240 -0.866 -0.5 1.732 255 -0.966 -0.259 3.732 270 -1 0 Undefined 285 -0.966 0.259 -3.732 300 -0.866 0.5 -1.732 315 -0.707 0.707 -1.0 330 -0.5 0.866 -0.577 345 -0.259 0.966 -0.268 360 0 1 0 Note that the tangent function is undefined for angles that are a multiple of 90 degrees, because the cosine of those angles is zero.
