The difference between sine and cosine is that sine- sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse amd cosine- cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse of a triangle.
Soh...
Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse
...cah...
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
...toa
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent
And there's Tangent just in case you didn't know^^
