Answer: the value of the hypotenuse

Explanation:

When we know the lengths of the sides of a right triangle, or after we compute the lengths, you find the trigonometric values sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, and cot by using the lengths in a ratio that's different for each trig value. The ratios for sin and cos are given below:

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

So, the value of the numerator differs, but the value of the denominator, the hypotenuse, remains the same.

I hope this helps! :)
