How does one differentiate between the sine rule and the sine ratio?

The sine rule(also known as the "law of sines") is:
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C
where the uppercase letters represent angles of a triangle and the lowercase letters represent the sides opposite the angles (side "a" is opposite angle "A", and so on.)
Sine Ratio(for angles of right triangles):
Sine of an angle = side opposite the angle/hypotenuse
written as
sin=opp/hyp.

What ratio correctly describes the sine function?
In a right triangle, the sine of an (non right angle) angle would the ratio of the opposite side (opposite to the angle selected) and the hypotenuse
The ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle?
Proportional to the sine of the angles opposite them.
How do I find the length of the hypotenuse with one leg equalling 12 and the opposite angle being 30 degrees?
Rearrange the sine ratio of sine = opposite/hypotenuse: hypotenuse = opposite/sine hypotenuse = 12/sine 30 degrees = 24 Therefore the hypotenuse is 24 units in length.
Fill in the blank The sine ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the?

How does one differentiate between the sine rule and the cosine rule?
The sine rule is a comparison of ratios: (sin A)/a = (sin B)/b = (sin C)/c. The cosine rule looks similar to the theorem of Pythagoras: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C.
What is a sine ratio?
The ratio of the side of a right-angled triangle opposite to a specified angle to the hypotenuse; when expressed as a real number between 0 and 1 it defines the sine of the angle
What are the potential values of a sine ratio?
Any number between -1 and +1 .
What ratio do you use to find the sine of an angle in a right triangle?
Sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
What is the ratio of opposite to hypotenuse?
It is the sine ratio.
How do you figure out the sine of a triangle?
An angle can have a sine ratio, not a triangle.
The sine of an angle is equal to what ratio?
Sine = opposite / hypotenuse
What are the Differentiate the sine wave and cosine wave?
The differential of the sine function is the cosine function while the differential of the cosine function is the negative of the sine function.
Which ratio describes the tangent function?
The ratio of sine and cosine.
Is sine trigonomentric ratio?
Yes.
Which ratio is used in finding the sine of an angle in a right triangle?
It is: sine = opposite/hypotenuse
What is the ratio of side opposite over hypotenuse?
Sine ratio = opp/hyp
