1. We will list the main geometric formulas involving the trigonometric functions sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc).
2. **Basic definitions in a right triangle:**
- $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$
- $\cot \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} = \frac{1}{\tan \theta}$
- $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent}}$
- $\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}}$
3. **Pythagorean identities:**
- $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$
- $1 + \tan^2 \theta = \sec^2 \theta$
- $1 + \cot^2 \theta = \csc^2 \theta$
4. **Law of Sines:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
where $a,b,c$ are sides opposite angles $A,B,C$ respectively.
5. **Law of Cosines:**
$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$$
(similarly for other sides)
6. **Area of a triangle using sine:**
$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}ab \sin C$$
7. **Sum and difference formulas:**
- $\sin (A \pm B) = \sin A \cos B \pm \cos A \sin B$
- $\cos (A \pm B) = \cos A \cos B \mp \sin A \sin B$
- $\tan (A \pm B) = \frac{\tan A \pm \tan B}{1 \mp \tan A \tan B}$
These formulas are fundamental in geometry and trigonometry for solving triangles and analyzing angles and sides.
