Front

Define sine in the context of a right triangle.

Back

Sine is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.

Front

Define cosine in the context of a right triangle.

Back

Cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse.

Front

Define tangent in the context of a right triangle.

Back

Tangent is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.
