Trigonometric Ratios of Multiple Angles


If A is an angle, then 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, etc are called multiple angles of A. In this section we will discuss about the trigonometric ratios of multiple angles 2A and 3A in terms of A.

List of trigonometric formula for multiple angles 2A and 3A.


Geometrical Proof of 2A Formulae


Let O be the centre of the circle ABC and AB be a diameter (In the given figure below.). Let ∠CAB = A, then ∠COB = 2A [∵ Central angle is double of inscribed angle on same arc.]. ∠ACB = 90° [Inscribed angle on semi-circle.]


Figure of the circle for geometrical proof of 2A formula.

Let CM is perpendicular to AB. Then, ∠ACM = 90° – A, and hence ∠BCM = A.


Now from the right angle ΔOMC,


(a) sin2A = CM/(OC ) = 2CM/(2OC ) = 2CM/(AB ) = 2 . CM/(AC ). AC/(AB ) = 2sinA cosA. (b) cos2A = OM/(OC ) = 2OM/(2OC ) = 2OM/(AB ) = ((AO + OM) - (AO - OM))/(AB ) = ((AO + OM) - (BO - OM))/(AB ) = (AM - BM)/(AB ) = AM/(AB ) - BM/(AB ) = AM/(AC ) . AC/(AB ) - BM/(BC ) . BC/(AB ) = cosA cosB – sinA sinB = cos2A – sin2A. (c) tan2A = CM/(OM ) = 2CM/(2OM ) = 2CM/((AO + OM) - (AO - OM) ) = 2CM/((AO + OM) - (BO - OM) ) = 2CM/(AM - BM ) = (2CM/(AM ))/((AM - BM)/(AM ) ) = (2CM/(AM ))/(AM/(AM ) - BM/(AM )) = (2CM/(AM ))/(1 - BM/(CM ) .CM/(AM )) = 2tanA/(1 – tanA tanA) = 2tanA/(1 – tan^2 A).

Worked Out Examples:


Example 1: If sinA = 5/13 , find the value of sin2A, cos2A and tan2A.
