You can put this solution on YOUR website! A diagonal is drawn in a 12-in. square floor tile. Find
the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle formed by the
diagonal and a side.
-----------------------
Let each side be "x"
By Pythagoras: 2x^2 = 144
x^2 = 72
x = 6sqrt(2)
--------------------
sin = 6sqrt(2)/12
cos = 6sqrt(2)/12
tan = 1
