In the series of our posts after our last post titled How to prepare for 10th boards, 12th boards, IIT and NEET Exams We at Alchemy Learning bring you a very basic but valuable concept which can bring a change in the way you prepare for your exams Trigonometric ratios are defined as the ratios of sides of a right angle triangle till class 10 th but trigonometric ratios are not constrained to a right angle triangle. In earlier classes tan 𝛉 is defined as the ratio of perpendicular to base in a right angle triangle and tan90 o is written as ∞ in trigonometric tables. We see in trigonometric table there is one value of tan 𝛉 written as “NOT DEFINED”. But we never ask ourselves WHY? Considering 𝛉 = 0 o Let us consider a right angle triangle ABC which has right angle (90 o ) at B and consider angle A = 𝛉 , AC = hypotenuse, BC = perpendicular and AB = base. When we consider values of 𝛉 to be 30 o , 45 o and 60 o we can see it is possible in
