Remember these relationships: Sine(x)=Opposite side/Hypotenuse: Cosine(x)=Adjacent side/Hypotenuse: Tangent(x)=Opposite side/Adjacent side. "Opposite" means opposite the angle that you have. "Adjacent" means one of the sides that forms the angle.
So, in your picture of angle "A", Opposite would be the "x" side, and the base where you have 8 is the Adjacent side. You have to memorize these important relationships.
