Answer 3

In a right angled triangle,
\[\tan x = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]
\[cosx = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\]
\[\sin x =\frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse}\]

Answer 4

note that opposite = opposite side to the angle x
hypotenuse = longest side of the triangle (Side opposite the right angle)
