The sine/sin of the angle = the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The cosine/cos of the angle = the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The tangent/tan of the angle = the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.
