Question

I need help.So when you do sin, tan, or cosWhen do you divide them or multiple solving for right triangles

Answer 1

There are three sides in a right triangle, adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse.

The trigonometric functions sin, cos and tan are the ratios of the sides given. The formulas of functions is given below.

`\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=\frac{\text{oppsite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ \cos \theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ \tan \theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \end{gathered}`
