In any $\"right\"$ $\"+angled\"$ $\"+triangle\"$ , for any angle:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The $\"sine\"$ of the angle = the length of the $\"opposite\"$ side $\"o\"$
\n" ); document.write( " the length of the $\"hypotenuse\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The $\"cosine\"$ of the angle = the length of the $\"adjacent\"$ side $\"a\"$
\n" ); document.write( " the length of the $\"hypotenuse\"$ $\"h\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The $\"tangent\"$ of the angle = the length of the $\"opposite\"$ side
\n" ); document.write( " the length of the $\"adjacent\"$ side $\"o\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So in shorthand notation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sin= $\"o%2Fh\"$ cos= $\"a%2Fh\"$ tan= $\"o%2Fa\"$ \r
