Answer:
Sine, Cosine and Tangent are main functions used in Trigonometry .
They are based on a Right-Angled Triangle.
It helps to give a name to each side of a right triangle:
"Opposite" ; side opposite to the angle θ
"Adjacent"; side adjacent (next to) to the angle θ,
"Hypotenuse" ; the longest side
Step-by-step explanation:
Sine, Cosine and Tangent (are often shortened as sin, cos and tan)
They are used in calculation by;
[tex]Sin \alpha = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}\\ \\Cos \alpha = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}\\ \\Tan \alpha = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]
To remember how to apply them , we use
