It is the relationship between a given angle and two of the sides of a triangle.

There are three ratios , viz; Sine(Sin), Cosine(Cos) and Tangent(Tan).

Mathemtically written as

Sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

Cos(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tan(angle) = opposite/ adjacent.

NB The angle referred to is NOT the right angle.

NNB The word 'Sine' is from Latin, and means curve. If you extend the Sine function beyond 360 degrees, , and plot it on a graph, you find it makes a wave-like curve. Cos mean 'Complementary Sine'.

NNNB All refers to an right-angled(90 degree) triangle.

A sentence using the word sine die?

First of all, a sine is the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse.The teacher told us to use the word sine in a sentence.He told us what a sine is and how you use it.A sine is the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse.
