Definition

Trigonometric ratios are relationships between the angles and side lengths of a right triangle. The three primary trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). For a given acute angle in a right triangle:

Sine (sin) is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
Cosine (cos) is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
Tangent (tan) is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

These ratios can also be extended beyond right triangles using the unit circle.

Summary

Trigonometric ratios help describe the relationship between angles and sides in right triangles. They are essential for solving problems involving angles, distances, and heights in geometry, physics, engineering, and other fields. By using sine, cosine, and tangent, you can find missing side lengths or angle measures. Trigonometric ratios also connect to the unit circle, allowing them to be used for angles of any measure, not just those in right triangles.
