tangent will always be larger because its denominator is smaller than sine's.

The formula for calculating the measure of an acute angle is not specific, as the measurement of an angle is determined by the degree of rotation between two lines. However, in a right triangle, the acute angles can be calculated using the trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent.
Yes, the sine, cosine and tangent are integral to problem solving (angles and side lengths) in right angle triangles (triangles with a 90 degree angle included).
One is the hypotenuse times the sine of one acute angle, the other, the hypotenuse times the sine of the other acute angle (or the cosine of the first).
The sine of one of the acute angles in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
