Given the same angle on a right triangle...........but not the 90 degree angle..................sine measures...........the vertical............cosine the horizontal.......

triangle showing Opposite, Adjacent and Hypotenuse
  • "Opposite" is opposite to the angle θ
  • "Adjacent" is adjacent (next to) to the angle θ
  • "Hypotenuse" is the long one
Opposite, Adjacent and Hypotenuse
Adjacent is always next to the angle
And Opposite is opposite the angle
