YES!!! However, they are two functional equations. The Sine Rule is ;- SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c You select any two out of three above. The Sine Rule is used when two sides and two angles are being considered. The Cosine Rule is ; - a^(2) = b^(2) + c^(2) - 2bc CosA This rule is selected when three sides and one angle is being considered. NB Capital letter (A) is the angular value, and small/lower case letter (a) is the length of the opposite side. These equations/rules are used for scalene, Isosceles and equilateral triangles.
you use the the 3 trigonometry functions , sin=opposite divided by hypotenuse cos=adjacent divided by hypotenuse tan=opposite divided by adjacent these are used to work out angles and side lengths in right angle triangles only!!! sine,cosine,tangent :)
Tangent, in geometry, is used to describe when figures have only one point in common. In Trig. tangent is applied to triangles.
Various trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine, show the relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the angles between those sides. So trigonometry is used to calculate angles, lengths and distances using right triangles. Right triangles are those that have one angle of exactly 90 degrees. Example: You want to find the height of a tree. Measure off a fixed distance from the tree and measure the angle between the ground and the line-of-sight to the top of the tree. The height of the tree = the distance to the tree times the tangent of the angle between the tree and the ground, ie tan(x).
They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.
Sine and cosine functions are used in physics to describe periodic phenomena, such as simple harmonic motion, sound waves, and alternating currents in circuits. They help in modeling phenomena that exhibit oscillatory behavior over time or space. Sine and cosine functions are also used in vector analysis to analyze the components of vectors in different directions.
because sine & cosine functions are periodic.
to find the measure of an angle. EX: if sin A = 0.1234, then inv sin (0.1234) will give you the measure of angle A
It is an 'Aide memoire' to help with using the correct sides , with the correct function. . socatoa, becomes SOHCAHTOA ; SOH , CAH, TOA. SOH is Sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse. CAH is Cosine(Cos(angle)) = Adjacent/ Hypotenuse TOA is Tangent(Tan(Angle)) = Opposite / Adjacent.
sine and cosine
usually its used to find a missing angle or length of a right triangle. Of course there is more to trigonometry. any way you can use sine, cosine, and tangent, to fine the missing angle or length
If you mean 'sohcahtoa' then it is a memory aid for working out the properties of right angle triangles as follows:- Sine = opposite/hypotenuse Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse Tangent = opposite/adjacent
Trigonometric ratios are ratios of the sides of a right triangle, involving the lengths of the sides and the angles of the triangle. The main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent, which are abbreviated as sin, cos, and tan respectively. These ratios are used in trigonometry to relate the angle of a right triangle to its side lengths.

You usually need all three primary functions. The sine and cosine functions are used to resolve the vector along orthogonal axes, and the tangent function is used to find its direction.
Sine wave is considered as the AC signal because it starts at 0 amplitude and it captures the alternating nature of the signal. Cosine wave is just a phase shift of the sine wave and represents the same signal. So, either sine or cosine wave can be used to represent AC signals. However, sine wave is more conventionally used.
