Answer:

There are six trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent. These six trigonometric ratios are abbreviated as sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot. These are referred to as ratios since they can be expressed in terms of the sides of a right-angled triangle for a specific angle θ.

Formulas:

The sine of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the hypotenuse.

The cosine of the angle = the length of the adjacent side. the length of the hypotenuse.

The tangent of the angle = the length of the opposite side. the length of the adjacent side.
