...

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
