The three basic ratios are sine, cosine and tangent.

In a right angled triangle,

the sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite the angle and the hypotenuse;

the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse;

the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite the angle and the the side adjacent to the angle.
