.... by usually showing the Greek letter theta, 0. The sine is the ratio of o, which is the length of the side opposite 0, to h, which is the length of the hypotenuse. The cosine is the ratio of a, the length of the side adjacent to 0, to h, the length of the hypotenuse. The tangent is the ratio of o, the length of the side opposite 0, to a, the length of the side adjacent to 0.
sin 0 = o/h
cos 0 = a/h
tan 0 = o/a
is considered to be an important component within every mathematics course, ....
