Introduction to basic trig functions


In any right angled triangle, for any angle:

The sine of the angle = the length of the opposite side   

                                         the length of the hypotenuse
sin x= O/H   

   
The cosine of the angle = the length of the adjacent side
                                             the length of the hypotenuse

cos x= A/H
The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side
                                               the length of the adjacent side
tan x= O/A
