Trigonometry Concept Map Overview
A trigonometry concept map shows how the subject divides into its main parts. Trigonometry studies the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles. It begins with right-triangle ratios, extends to the unit circle for any angle, and then covers identities, equations and the graphs of periodic functions.
- Right-triangle ratios: sine, cosine and tangent defined by opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse
- Unit circle: extends the ratios to any angle and shows their signs by quadrant
- Identities: Pythagorean, reciprocal and angle-sum relationships used to simplify expressions
- Graphs: amplitude, period and phase shift of sine and cosine curves
Use a trigonometry map to review the connections before an exam, and check which branch needs more practice. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own notes, so your study map matches the way your teacher taught the unit.

Trigonometry Concept Map FAQ
Common questions about trig topics and making your own map.
What are the three main trig ratios?
The three main ratios are sine, cosine and tangent. Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, and tangent is opposite over adjacent. They describe the relationship between an angle and the sides of a right triangle.
Why is the unit circle important in trigonometry?
The unit circle has a radius of one and lets you define sine and cosine for any angle, not only acute angles in triangles. It also shows how the signs of the ratios change across the four quadrants.
Which files can I use to make a trig map?
You can upload a PDF, a Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type a topic to start.
Is it free to make a trigonometry concept map?
Yes, there is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. Paid plans raise those limits. You can also turn the finished map into a quiz.
