sin(θ) for a right angle triangle
sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
(Sᵒ⁄ₕ Cᵃ⁄ₕ T ᵒ⁄a)
cos(θ) for a right angle triangle
cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
(Sᵒ⁄ₕ Cᵃ⁄ₕ T ᵒ⁄a)
tan(θ) for a right angle triangle
tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent
(Sᵒ⁄ₕ Cᵃ⁄ₕ T ᵒ⁄a)

Basic sine values
sin(0) = 0
sin(30) = 1 / 2
sin(45) = 1 /√2
sin(60) = √3 / 2
sin(90) = 1
Basic cosine values HINT: OPPOSITE ORDER OF SINE VALUES
cos(0) = 1
cos(30) = √3 / 2
cos(45) = 1 / √2
cos(60) = 1 / 2
cos(90) = 0
Basic tangent values
tan(0) = 0
tan(30) = 1 / √3
tan(45) = 1
tan(60) = √3
tan(90) = N/A because math error (1/0 is not possible)
