at a 45 degree angle, or pi/4

The sine and cosine of acute angles are equal only for 45° sin45° = cos 45° = 1/sqrt(2) = 0.7071
Sine allows us to find out what a third side or an angle is using the equation sin(x) = opposite over hypotenuse (x being the angle). Cosine has the same function but instead uses the equation cosine(x)= opposite over adjacent
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.
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
I could answer that for you in a snap if I knew the size of angle 'b'.Without that information, no answer is possible.Wait! There is an answer. Not a useful one, but an answer nonetheless.The cosine of angle 'b' is the square root of [ 1 minus the square of the sine of angle 'b' ] .You heard it here first.
