The sides of the right triangle are:  the side opposite the acute angle ,  the side adjacent to the acute angle ,  and the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. opp adj hyp θ Trigonometric Functions sin  = cos  = tan  = csc  = sec  = cot  = opp hyp adj hyp adj opp adj

Example: sin  = cos(90    ), for 0 <  < 90  Note that  and 90    are complementary angles. Side a is opposite θ and also adjacent to 90 ○ – θ. a hyp b θ 90 ○ – θ sin  = and cos (90    ) =. So, sin  = cos (90    ). Example: Using Trigonometric Identities
