AQ/WQ where both numbers represent lengths produces a solution that is the ratio of the two lengths.

If the two lengths quoted represent two sides of a right angled triangle then the ratio obtained would represent the Sine, Cosine or Tangent of one of the angles other than the right angle.

EXAMPLE : If WQ is the hypotenuse then AQ/WQ = Sin w or Cos q

If neither AQ or WQ is the hypotenuse then AQ/WQ = Tan w

NOTE : Angle a is opposite side QW, Angle q is opposite side AW, Angle w is opposite side AQ
