This looks like math. I've seen math before. It looks just like this.

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so... How can I tell which is opposite or adjacent?

anonymous · Answer

I guess it doesn't matter since the right angle sides are the same value. Correct?

thesmartone · Answer

the sides opposite the angle x are opposite

anonymous · Answer

So, we have:

sin = √2 / 2
cos = √2 / 2
tan = √2 / √2

Correct @TheSmartOne ?

thesmartone · Answer

correct, tan can be simplified to 1
