Answer:

Sine - opposite side/hypotenuse. Sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Cosine - adjacent side/hypotenuse. Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

Tangent - opposite side/adjacent side. Tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
