BIBHORR FORMULA: SHORTCUT TO TRIGONOMETRY

0. INTRODUCTION
Trigonometry is the study of triangles with the aim of setting up relations between the sides and angles of
triangles. Since, the historical concepts did not allow any direct methodology of constructing these relations,
the traditional trigonometry or conventional trigonometry relies heavily on constant ratios that exist in the form of
trigonometric functions. These functions are solely the pre-calculated constant values for each angle corresponding
to the paired sides.
The measurement of trigonometric ratios is achieved through interpolation techniques like Taylor series. These
estimations help in approximating the ratios between the two paired sides against each angle value. This allow
scholars to prepare a long list of approximated constant values called Trigonometric tables. The indirect
trigonometric computations are not only slow and inaccurate
learners.
This research paper introduces direct methods of manifesting the side-angle relations for right triangles, without
any entanglement with the trigonometric functions.
1. NOTATIONS, DEFINTIONS AND AUXILIARY RESULTS
1.1 Notations and Definitions. For a right triangle ABC, the longest side or the hypotenuse BC will be called
shrav and its magnitude will be denoted by . Similarly, the longer and shorter sides (AC & AB) that are
mutually perpendicular to each other will be called lambu and chhutku and denoted by and respectively.
The angle ∠ ABC that lies opposite to the side AC (lambu) has been called Bibhorr angle; denoted by . ∠ ACB
that lies opposite to the side AB (chhutku) is the Ubhorr angle and will be denoted by ऊ .
Here, the author has defined each angle and each side for right triangle because these elements could now be
used to fit in a single equation as independent variables.

Consider an arc CD spanning between BC and BD with radius BC (= BD). This will be referred to as Bibhorr
vakra and its length will be represented as . The radius of this arc is the shrav (longest side) of a right
triangle.
Consider another arc EF spanning 90º between AE and AF with radius AF (=AE). This arc has been referred
to as Kālpanik vakra notated as क . The radius of this arc has been called Bibhorr leek notated as .
ABSTRACT. This research paper explores new mathematical findings that are
ultimately found useful in the field of trigonometry. The findings are
completely new and are not grounded on any past theorem/formula or
concept. The result arising out of these findings simplifies the computations
without the involvement of trigonometric functions. The denouements can
also be found useful in other mathematical concepts.

1.2 Auxiliary Results. From Figure 2, the following two assertions are evident.
Assertion 1.1. Bibhorr vakra is the product of Bibhorr angle and shrav i.e. = .
Assertion 1.2. Kālpanik vakra is the product of 90º and Bibhorr leek i.e. क= 90 .

Theorem 3.0 (Bibhorr leek theorem). For an arc EF (Kālpanik vakra) with radius spanning between the two
mutually perpendicular sides (AE & AF) , the length of Bibhorr leek is given as:
This radius (Bibhorr leek) emanates from the point where AC and AD meet and ends at the point of
intersection of the arcs CD and EF.

5. CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that Bibhorr formula simplifies the computations and understanding of the concept of
trigonometry without entangling to any trigonometric function. The formula can used to replace other formulas
and equations that involve trigonometric functions. The formula is deduced from Bibhorr law and hence
only different in its symbolic structure.
