The sides of the right triangle are 7, 24, and 25.

It is important to know that the cosine function is equal to the ratio between the adjacent leg to Y and the hypothenuse.

$\cos Y=(7)/(25)$

The sine function is equal to the ratio between the opposite leg to Y and the hypothenuse.

$\sin Y=(24)/(25)$

The tangent function is the ratio between the opposite leg and the adjacent leg to Y.

$\tan Y=(24)/(7)$
