if sin p=3 divided by 5 and p is an acute angle,what is the value of tan p.
----------
Write it like this:
sin(p) = 3/5
=================
Make a circle centered at the Origin, r = 5
Draw a 3,4,5 triangle with the base on the x-axis, a vertex at the Origin and a vertex at (3,4)
---------------
sin = y/r
cos = x/r
tan = y/x
