10.0 Introduction
Group discuss the following questions :
(a) What is the standard position of a triangle ?
(b) Define a unit circle.
(c) Under which condition does a revolving line make 0° and 90° with X-axis?
(d) What is the measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle?
(e) If an angle bisector of vertical angle in an equilateral triangle is drawn, is it a
perpendicular bisector of the base ?
A triangle in which one of the vertices is at the origin and one side is along X-axis is known
as standard position of a triangle. If a circle is drawn with centre at the origin and radius of
1 unit, then the circle is called unit circle.
10.1 Trigonometric ratios of standard Angles
Here, we discuss the trigonometric ratios of angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°.
(a) Trigonometric ratios of 0° and 90° Y
In the figure, a revolving line OP makes an angle of P
XOP with an intial line OX. PM perpendicular is M
drawn to OX. A circle is drawn with radius OP.
If the revolving line OP overlaps with OX , X' T X

In the figure, a revolving line OP makes an angle of Y
30° with the initial line OX i.e. XOP = 30°. A circle
is drawn with radius OP. PM is drawn perpendicular P
to OX. PM is produced to Q. Then, by RHS axiom
of congruency 'POM and 'QOM will be congruent. X' 60° X

Trigonometric Ratios of Any Angle
If an angle can be expressed in the form of (n × 90° ± T), where n is an integer, even or odd.
The trigonometric ratios of the angle (n × 90° ± T), can be changed into the trigonometric
ratios of angle T and signs are taken according to quadrants in which they lie.
1. If 'n' is odd in the angle (n × 90° ± T), then the trigonometric ratios change from
sin to cos, cos to sin
tan to cot, cot to tan
cosec to sec, sec to cosec
Examples :
(i) sin (90° + T) = sin (1 × 90 + T) = cosT
(ii) cos(3 × 90° + T) = sinT
(iii) tan (270° + T) = tan (3 × 90° + T) = – cotT
2. If 'n' is even in the angle (n × 90° ± T), there is no change in the trigonometric ratios.
Examples :
(i) sin (180° – T) = sin(2 × 90 – T) = sinT
(ii) cos(180° – T) = sin(2 × 90° – T) = – cosT
(iii) tan(180° – T) = tan(2 × 90° – T) = – tanT
(iv) tan(180° + T) = tan(2 × 90° + T) = tanT
3. The signs of the trigonometric ratios of the angles (n × 90° ± T) is determined by
taking into considereation that in which quadrant that angle (n × 90° ± T) lies.
Examples :
(i) sin150° = sin(2 × 90° – 30°) = sin30° = 1 (It lies in the 2nd quadrant)
2
(ii) tan225° = tan (2 × 90° + 45°) = tan45° = 1 (It lies in the third quadrant)
(iii) cos315° = cos (4 × 90° – 45) = cos45° = 1 (It lies in the fourth quadrant)

11.2 Trigonometric Ratios of compound Angles
Review
Group discuss the following questions:
(a) What are the possible compound angles of angles A and B ?
(b) Define a unit circle.
(c) How can you define trigonometric ratios in unit circle taking any point on the circle ?
Introduction
Let A and B be any two angles. Then the sum and the difference of these two angles are
written as A + B and A – B. These are called compound angles of A and B.
Definition : The sum or difference of two or more angles is called compound angle. Let A, B
and C be any three angles, then A + B, B + C, A – B, B – C, A + B + C, A – B – C, A – B + C
etc. are called compounded angles.
Trigonometric ratios in a unit circle
Let O be the origin and a unit circle is drawn taking O as Y
the centre. Let P(x, y) be any point on the circle and XOP = T.
Take a point S on X-axis such that OS = OP = 1 unit. Then P(x, y)
the coordinates of S is (1, 0). = (cos T, sinT)
r=1 y
TS
Now, sinT y-coordinte of P y y X' O xM X
? radius r 1
y = sinT
and cosT = x-coordinte of P = x = x
radius r 1
? x = cosT ? Y'
Hence P(x, y) = P(cosT, sinT)
(a) Trigonometric ratios of compound Angles (A + B) and (A – B)
Let us draw a unit circle taking origin O as the centre. Take a point S on X-axis such
that coordinates of S are (1, 0). Take P and Q two points on the circle such that
SOP = A, POQ = B. Let us take R on the Q(cos(A+B), sin(A+B)) Y B P(cosA, sinA)
circle below X-axis such that SOR = – B. A + X
Then, SOQ = A + B and X' BA S(1, 0)
O -B
POR = A + (– B) = A – B
From the above figure, the coordinates
of P, Q and R are writen as
P(cosA, sinA) R(cos(-B), sin(-B))
Q(cos (A + B)), (cos(A + B))
R(cos(–B), sin(–B)) = R(cosB, – sinB) Y'
Now, by using distance formula

SQ2 = {cos(A + B) – 1}2 + {sin(A + B) – 0}2
= cos2(A + B) – 2cos(A + B) + 1 + sin2(A + B)
= sin2(A + B) + cos2(A + B) + 1 – 2cos(A + B)
= 1 + 1 – 2cos(A + B) = 2[1 – cos(A + B)]
Similarly,
PR2 = (cosB – cosA)2 + (–sinB – sinA)2
= cos2B – 2cosB.cosA + cos2A + sin2B + 2sinB.sinA + sin2A
= (sin2A + cos2B) + (sin2B + cos2B) – 2 cosA.cosB + 2sinA.SinB
= 1 + 1 – 2 (cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB)
= 2 – 2(cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB) = 2[1 – (cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB)]
Since, A + B = A + |–B|, we have,
SQ = PR (chords opposite to equal central angles)
or, SQ2 = PR2
or, 2[1 – cos(A + B)] = 2[1 – (cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB)]
or, 1 – cos(A + B) = 1 – (cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB)
? cos(A + B) = cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB ................. (1)
Then we get, cos(A + (–B)) = cosA.cos(–B) – sinA.sin(–B)
or, cos(A –B) = cosA.cosB + sinA.sinB
? cos(A – B) = cosA.cosB + sinA.sinB .................. (2)
Again, sin(A + B) = cos[90° – (A + B)]

= sinA.cosB + cosA.sinB

Let angle B be replaced by – B in (3),

Proof :
LHS = cos(A + B).cos(A – B)
= (cosA.cosB – sinA.sinB) (cosA.cosB + sinA.sinB)
= cos2A.cos2B – sin2A.sin2B
= cos2A(1 – sin2B) – (1 – cos2A)sin2B
= cos2A – cos2A.sin2B – sin2B + cos2A.sin2B
= cos2A – sin2B = middle side
Again, cos2B – cos2A = 1 – sin2B – 1 + sin2A = sin2A – sin2B
? sin(A + B).sin(A – B) = cos2A – sin2B = cos2B – sin2A = RHS

(v) Force (vi) Beauty (vii) Area (viii)Feelings
(ix) Displacement (x) Distance
Which of the above physical quantities need direction to specify them ?
The quantities which can be measured are called physical quantities Physical quantities are
divided into two categories.
(a) Scalar Quantities or scalars (b) Vector Quantities or vectors
(a) Scalar Quantities : The physical quantities which have only magnitude but no
direction are called scalar quantities or scalars. For examples; distance, mass, volume,
temperature, speed, density, area, time, height, etc. All these quantities can only be
determined by their magnitudes.
(b) Vector Quantities : The physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction are
called vector quantities or vectors. For examples; displacement, velocity, acceleration,
force, weight etc. These quantities involve both magnitude and direction.
Directed Line Segment
Let A and B be two points in the plane. The line segment B
joining these points A and B is denoted by AB. If point A is A
taken as initial point and B is as the terminating point, the
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 241
vedanta Excel In Opt. Mathematics - Book 9 Vector
line segment is called directed line segment and it is denoted by AoB (read as vector AB).
A directed line segment is a vector. It consists of three main parts, the initial point, the
terminal point (and ending point and the body (or length).
A vector is denoted by a single small letter or by a combination of two letters by arrow head
over it. For examples: AoB, PoQ, XoY, oa , ob , op , oq , etc.
Vector in Terms of Components
A vector can be expressed in terms of x-component and y-component.
For example : oa = 2 , ob = a etc.
4 b
(a) When the initial point of vector is at origin and the terminal point is at P(x, y)
Let O be the origin and P(x, y) be any point on the place. Join OP, PM is drawn
perpendicular on OX. Y
Then OM = x, PM = y P(x, y)
Then OoP can be written as a column vector. y
o x-component = x X' O x MX
OP = y-component y Y'
Q(x2, y2)
Example : If O(0, 0) and P(4, 5), R
Then, OoP = 4 NX

(b) When the initial point is at (x1, y1) and the terminating point is at (x2, y2)
Let P(x1, y2) and Q(x2, y2) be any two points on the plane.
PM and QN are drawn perpendicular to OX from P Y
and Q respectively. PR is drawn perpendicular P(x 1, y 1)
to QN.
Then, PR = MN = ON – OM

QR = QN – RN = QN – PM Y'

Now,Vector PQ can be expressed as a column vector.
PoQ = x-component

Magnitude of a Vector
The magnitude of a vector is the distance between the initial and the terminal point of a
vector. The magnitude of a vector is also called absolute value or modulus of a vector. Its
value is always taken as positive. The magnitude of a vector AoB is denoted by |AoB|.
Let AoB = x , then its magnitude is given by
y
|AoB|
= (x-component)2+(y-component)2
= x2 + y2
Magnitudes of AoB is also denoted by AB.
o
Example : If P(4, 5) and Q(10 ,12), then find PQ and its magnitude.
Solution: Here, P(x1, y1) = P(4, 5) and Q(x2, y2) = Q(10, 12)
Then, PoQ = x2 – x1 = 10 – 4 = 6
y2 – y1 12 – 5 7
Now, magnitude of PQ is given by,
|PoQ| = (x-component)2+(y-component)2
= 62 + 72 = 36 + 49 = 85 units.
Direction of a Vector
The angle made by the vector with X-axis in the positive direction is called direction of a
vector. It is denoted by T.
In other words, the ratio of y-component to the x-component of a vector is called its direction.
Let OoP = x be a vector which makes an angle T with the positive X-axis in positive
y Y
direction. Then, draw PMAOX.

Then, the horizontal displacement of PoQ is 8 units
and the vertical displacement of PoQ is 5 units.
Here, PoQ = (8, 5) is called row vector.
? PoQ = (8, 5)
Definition: If x-component and y-component of a vector are written in a horizontal order
enclosing in pair of brackets ( ), then the vector is called a row vector.
For example: oa = (4, 5), PoQ = (8, 4).

Unit Vectors oi and oj
The unit vector along positive X-axis is denoted by oi and its Y
x-component is unity and y-component is 0.
So, oi = 1 = (1, 0) X' B(0, 1) X
0
In the figure, OoA = oi = oi + 0 O A(1, 0)
Y'
The unit vector along position Y-axis is denoted by oj
oj = (0, 1) = 0 + oj
In the figure,
OoA = (1, 0) = oi
OoB = (0, 1) = oj
To find unit vector along a given vector:
A vector AoB divided by its magnitude |AoB| is known as a unit vector along the direction of
AoB.
It is denoted by A^B. AoB
|AoB|
Hence a unit vector along AoB =
i.e. A^B = AoB
|AoB|

For example: Let AoB = (4, 3)
|AoB| = 42 + 32 = 16 + 9 = 25 = 5
Now, unit vector along AoB = AoB

Here two vectors are parallel to each other and they have same magnitude but they
have opposite signs.
Hence, AoB and PoQ are negative vector of each other. It means AoB is negative vector of
PoQ and PoQ is negative vector of AoB.
We write, AoB = – PoQ
or, PoQ = – AoB
Definition: Two vectors oa and ob are said to be negative of each other if they have the same
magnitudes but opposite in direction. Then we write oa = – ob .
Negative vector of AoB is written as BoA.
If AoB = 4 , then BoA = – 4 = –4

In the adjoining figure AoB and CoD are two parallel vectors
with same direction. They are called like parallel vectors.
Definition: Two vectors are said to be like parallel vectors if they A
have the same direction regardless of their magnitudes. Like
vectors are also like parallel vectors. C
