CBSE Grade 11 | Math | Trigonometric Functions
Name: _________________________ Date: _________________________ Score: _______ / 40

The sine of 30° is 1/2 and the cosine of 60° is also 1/2, so this Class 11 sheet opens with the two equal standard angles. The answers record 2π as the period of the sine and cosine functions, with 1 also recorded among later results.
