Explore the essential trigonometric functions: Sine (Sin), Cosine (Cos), and Tangent (Tan), crucial for solving right triangles. Learn how to identify the sides of a right triangle: opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse, and how these functions relate to angle measurements (theta). Discover trigonometric ratios through practical examples, including Sin, Cos, and Tan values for various angles. Use the inverse functions (Sin-1, Cos-1, Tan-1) to find angle measures based on given ratios. Enhance your understanding of geometry and trigonometry with helpful charts.
