They are used for making the sides of a triangle into a ratio. Sine is opposite of the angle divide by the hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent divided by the hypotenuse, and tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent. Sine is the y-component, cosine is the x-component, and tangent is the ratio of sine/cosine or can also be considered the slope.
The total number of 13-card hands that can be dealt is 52C13. Four of these are of the same suit. Therefore the required probability is given by:
I believe x=10.25 because of the pythagorean theorem.
First we subtract it:
18 - 15 = 3
Now we divide it to the original:
3 / 15 = 0.2
Multiply by 100:
0.2 * 100 = 20%
