Sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan) are trigonometric functions relating angles in right triangles to their side lengths. For an angle θ, sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse, cos(θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent. These ratios let you find missing angles or sides. For example, if a right triangle has a 30° angle and a hypotenuse of 10, you can use sin(30°) = 1/2 to find the opposite side: (1/2) = opposite/10, so opposite = 5. Trigonometric functions are indispensable in fields like surveying, physics, and engineering, making them a must-learn for geometry applications and practical measurements.
