The trigonometric identities hold true only for the right-angle triangle. The six basic trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent. All these trigonometric ratios are defined using the sides of the right triangle, such as an adjacent side, opposite side, and hypotenuse side.
Sine, Cosine and Tangent
Sine Function: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cosine Function: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tangent Function: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
