The
tangent ratio
(tan) is calculated as the
length
of the side opposite the given angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
The
sine ratio
(sin) is calculated as the
length
of the side opposite the given angle divided by the hypotenuse.
Sine, cosine, and tangent are trigonometric ratios used in
right-angled triangles
to relate the angles to the
sides.
In
trigonometry
, there are
six
basic functions that can be used to find unknown angles or sides:
Sine function
(sin): The
sine
of an angle is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
Cosine
function (cos): The
cosine
of an angle is equal to the length of the side adjacent to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
The
cosine
ratio (cos) is calculated as the
length
of the side adjacent to the given angle divided by the hypotenuse.
