Let B be one of the two acute angles of a right triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle is of length 130, the side of the triangle adjacent to B is of length 120, and the side of the triangle opposite B is of length 50. Find the cos B and the tan B.
Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
