Do you need a right traingle to use sine cosine and tangent?
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
How do you know when to use sine over cosine or cosine over sine?
You can choose either or but tangent which is sin/cos seems to be the most common way.
How do you know when to use tangent cosine or sine?
It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
How do you work out the angles in a triangle with only 3 sides and no angles?
use the inverse sine or cosine or tangent
How do you make a degree into a decimal?
use tangent, sine, or cosine hope this helped,if it didnt message me on facebook tyler immortal barden

Where to use sine and cosine in physics?
The sine, cosine and tangent are used to find the degrees of a right angle triangle.
How do you find 2 missing sides of a right triangle?
You can use the sine, cosine, or tangent. The sine is if the angle has the opposite or hypotenuse. The Cosine is opposite and hypotenuse and Tangent is adjacent and opposite.
How do you know when to use sine over cosine or cosine over sine?
You can choose either or but tangent which is sin/cos seems to be the most common way.
How do you find theta for right triangle?
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
How do you solve for a triangle with two angles but no lengths?
you can use the sine, cosine, tangent formula.
How do you know when to use tangent cosine or sine?
It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
How do you use sine cosine and tangent?
They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.

use the inverse sine or cosine or tangent

How do you figure the base of a triangle when you know the dimension of the other two sides?
If it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. If you know the angle measures, you can use cosine/sine/tangent.
What do you do in trigonometry?
usually its used to find a missing angle or length of a right triangle. Of course there is more to trigonometry. any way you can use sine, cosine, and tangent, to fine the missing angle or length
