Trigonometric relationships
There are six trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant,
secant and cotangent. These six trigonometric ratios are abbreviated as sin
θ, cos θ, tan θ, csc θ, sec θ, cot θ.
These are referred to as ratios since they can be expressed in terms of
the sides of a right-angled triangle for a specific angle θ or the angle A.

Let Us Reflect
Math and science relate to everyday life, just like reading and
writing, and understanding a language. They are tools to manage in life. You
may decide you do not need some of those tools, but what you do not know
could hurt you. If you decide you do not need to learn to speak and
understand the language most people speak where you live, that lack of
knowledge will limit severely limit you. Not caring about trigonometric ratios
will not limit your everyday life that horribly, but it is limiting to a lesser
degree. Those ratios are useful on real life. Their names may not be as
useful, but they expand your vocabulary, and at least help you graduate
from school. You already have had to learn so many words to get by in life.
Math does not require learning too many words. I believe it requires a los
less than teachers throw at you, but the important words stay in your head.
I remember sine, cosine, and tangent, but when I need, I look up many
other math words that I once learned (for the test) and then forgot.
A ratio of sides helps you figure out if your ramp meets the ADA
requirements for handicapped accessibility. A carpenter taught me that.
Trigonometric ratios also let you figure out the length of distances you
cannot directly measure. A hunter trying to shoot a deer with an arrow from
a tree stand cares about them.
