Here ∠CAB is an acute angle. Observe the position of the sides with respect to angle A.
- BC is the opposite side of Angle A.
- AB is the adjacent side with respect to angle A.
- AC is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle ABC.
The trigonometric ratios of the angle A in the right angled triangle ABC can be defined as follows.
sinA=
Hypotenuse
SideoppositetoangleA
=
AC
BC
cosA=
Hypotenuse
SideadjacenttoangleA

AB
tanA=
SideadjacenttoangleA
SideoppositetoangleA

Now let us define the trigonometric ratios for the acute angle C in the right angled triangle, ∠ABC=90

Observe that the position of the sides changes when we consider angle 'C' in place of angle A.
sinC=
