jim_thompson5910 · Answer

sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent

csc(theta) = hypotenuse/opposite
sec(theta) = hypotenuse/adjacent
cot(theta) = adjacent/opposite

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so you will have a triangle that looks like this

|dw:1371154906542:dw|

you need to find the hypotenuse so you can find things like sin(theta) and cos(theta)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

but tan(theta) is relatively easy to find 

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent

tan(theta) = 4/3
