If you know the measure of one angle, and the length of one side of a triangle, you can find the measures of the other sides and angles. From there, you can find the values of the other trig functions.
cos (x) = sin (90-x) in degrees
there are other identities such as cos^2+sin^2=1, so cos^2=1-sin^2

Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, secant and cosecant
Sinusoid shape of the sine and cosine functions appear as oscillations. If an object is moving in a straight line and its position (function of time) can be described as sinusoid then it is referred to as a simple harmonic motion.
The basic circular functions are sine, cosine and tangent. Then there are their reciprocals and inverses.
