+1006 sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent = opposite/adjacent
Just remember SOHCAHTOA (and later on when using circles and triangles in tandem, SYRCXRTYX)
For example (all examples apply to right triangles), sin(A) in a triangle would equal the opposite side and the hypotenuse, or a/c (due tot he fact that angles are named after the opposite angle and so forth)
In similar fashion, sin(B) = b/c
Just remember that, when working with right triangles, the tangent of the 90 degree angle is undefined.
