There is no such thing as a hypotinuse. The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle is a hypotenuse. You probably misspelled it because you are mispronouncing it. hī-ˈpä-tə-ˌnüs NOT hī-ˈpä-tin-ˌüs

The sine is the opposite divided by the hypotenuse

The cosine is the adjacent divided by the hypotenuse

The tangent is the sine divided by the cosine which reduces to the opposite divided by the adjacent

The cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent

The secant is the reciprocal of cosine

The cosecant is the reciprocal of sine

Use Pythagoras to find the measure of the missing side in your second problem. Leave the value in radical form, but remember to rationalize your denominators when you calculate the trig functions.
