In a right triangle, the sine of an angle (abbreviated SIN) represents a ratio between the lengths of the side opposite of the angle and the hypotenuse of the triangle. For example, in a standard 3, 4, 5 right triangle, the 2 legs are length 3 and 4, while the hypotenuse (always the longest side) is 5.
