Trigonometric Ratios

Secondary 2

In the triangle \(ABC\), if \(\angle BAC=\theta \), then

sine of angle \(\angle BAC\) is \(\sin \theta =\frac{BC}{AC}\) or \(\frac{\mathrm{Opp}}{\mathrm{Hyp}}\)

cosine of angle \(\angle BAC\) is \(\cos \theta =\frac{AB}{AC}\) or \(\frac{\mathrm{Adj}}{\mathrm{Hyp}}\)

tangent of angle \(\angle BAC\) is \(\tan \theta =\frac{BC}{AB}\) or \(\frac{\mathrm{Opp}}{\mathrm{Adj}}\)
