Question

What does it mean to find the sin, cos, and tan of the angle θ?

Answer 1

Sin means to divide the opposite side measure by the hypotenuse. Cos is equal to the adjacent side value divided by the hypotenuse. Tan is equal to the opposite value divided by the adjacent. To remember this, I use the abbreviation SOHCAHTOA. SOH for Sin is Opposite over Hypotenuse, and so on.
