For a triangle with an angle , they are calculated this way:
Sine Function:

Cosine Function:

Tangent Function:

How to remember? Think ""! It works like this:
...

......

...

so, sometimes you are given an angle and side, then formulas above will help you to calculate unknown side or angle
Example: what are the sine, cosine and tangent of � ?
The classic � triangle has a hypotenuse of length , an opposite side of length and an adjacent side of :
Now we know the lengths, we can calculate the functions:
Sine

Cosine

Tangent
