They are all ratios for triangles found by dividing one side of a triangle by the others.
Ex: sine=opposite side/hypotenuse.
***
This is so for a right-angled triangle. Non-right-angle triangle dimensions can be calculated by trigonometry but require more complicated derived formulae.

How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
Do you need a right traingle to use sine cosine and tangent?
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
Does tangent of x equal cosine divided by sine?
No, it does not.
What jobs use sine cosine and tangent?
Trigonometry
What is Secant - cosine equals sine tangent?
It is a FALSE statement.
How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
How do you find sine cosine and tangent of 210 degrees?
Sine = -0.5 Cosine = -0.866 Tangent = 0.577
Do you need a right traingle to use sine cosine and tangent?
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
What is the relationship between the tan and cot?
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
The laws of sine cosine and tangent are used where?
in trigonometry
Does tangent of x equal cosine divided by sine?
No, it does not.
What jobs use sine cosine and tangent?
Trigonometry
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the?
Sine of the angle to its cosine.
What is Secant - cosine equals sine tangent?
It is a FALSE statement.
Which ratio describes the tangent function?
The ratio of sine and cosine.
Why does the world have cosine sine tangent?
For solving the properties of triangles
How do you find an angle using sine cosine tangent?
If you know the angle's sine, cosine, or tangent, enter it into the calculator and press <inverse> sine, cosine, or tangent. On MS Calc, in Scientific Mode, using Degrees, enter 0.5, then check Inv and the press sin. You should get 30 degrees. The other functions work similarly.
