The longest side of a given triangle is the "hypotenuse." (It is never called adjacent.)
Tangent Abbreviated as "tan" is opposite divided by adjacent.
Sine Abbreviated as "sin" is opposite divided by hypotenuse.
Cosine Abbreviated as "cos" is adjacent divided by hypotenuse.
Trigonometric Tables Tables that help you figure out how many degrees an angle is after you find out the sin, cos, or tan.
