What exactly is sin/cos/tan?

834 views

I get this is kind of an overdone question, but I still don’t really understand what it is. I think of math visually, and for some reason, I just can’t really get an idea of what sin and cosine “look like,” just that they are ratios.

Thanks!

They are trigenomatric functions. Given one of the angles of a right angled triangle they give you the ratio of the lengths of two of the sides.
