- Sin = opposite/hypotenuse
- Cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
- Tan = opposite/adjacent
sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse
sin 60° = √3 / 2
The bottom side = √3, the hypotenuse = 2
To find the right side's value, you use Pythagorean's Theorem
- a² + b² = c²
- a² + (√3)² = 2²
- a² + 3 = 4
- a² = 4 - 3
- a² = 1
- a = 1
cos 60° = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 60° = 1 / 2
