Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the three main functions in trigonometry.
Explanation:
They are often shortened to sin, cos and tan.
To calculate them:
Divide the length of one side by another side.
In picture form:
For a triangle with an angle θ, they are calculated this way:
Sine Function: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cosine Function: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tangent Function: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
