The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan)

They are found by comparing two of the three sides of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the the longest side of the right triangle, and is opposite the right angle. The other two sides are the legs. One leg is adjacent to an angle, and the other is opposite the angle.

The three ratios are

sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan(x) = opposite/adjacent
