What is the sine function used for in trigonometry?

Back

The sine function relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the cosine function used for in trigonometry?

Back

The cosine function relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the tangent function used for in trigonometry?

Back

The tangent function relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
