Each triangle has three sides and three vertices. The opposite side of a triangle is the side that is not adjacent to the specified vertex. The other two sides are adjacent sides to the specified vertex. Circular definition? Yes - Here is the formal definition... Given a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, the side AB is adjacent to the angles ABC and BAC, and it is opposite to the angle ACB.

Definition of the 6 trigonometric functions?

The six main trigonometric functions are sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse cos(x)=adjacent/hypotenuse tan(x)=opposite/adjacent csc(x)=hypotenuse/opposite cot(x)=adjacent/opposite sec(x)=hypotenuse/adjacent Where hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent correspond to the three sides of a right triangle and x corresponds to an angle in that right triangle.
