If the adjacent side is 40 and the angle is 60°, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Using cosine: $$\text{hypotenuse} = \frac{40}{\text{cosine}(60°)} = 80$$ .

What is the relationship between sine, cosine, and tangent?

Tangent can be expressed as: $$\text{tangent} = \frac{\text{sine}}{\text{cosine}}$$ .

What is the value of tan(45°)?

The value is 1, since $$\text{tan}(45°) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = 1$$ .

What is the value of sin(90°)?

The value is 1, since $$\text{sin}(90°) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = 1$$ .

What is the value of cos(0°)?

The value is 1, since $$\text{cos}(0°) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = 1$$ .

If you know the lengths of the opposite and adjacent sides, how can you find the angle θ?

You can use the tangent function: $$\theta = \text{tan}^{-1}igg(\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}igg)$$ .

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ .

What is the importance of trigonometric ratios in real-life applications?

Trigonometric ratios are used in various fields such as engineering, physics, architecture, and navigation to solve problems involving angles and distances.
