Sine, cosine and tangent as ratios of sides, labelled hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent from the angle in use.
Author note — to cover
Define sin, cos and tan as side ratios — formulas G20 says must be known — labelling hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent relative to the chosen angle, in any orientation. Right-angled triangles only: general triangles are Higher, in the sine and cosine rules group. Both tiers. (G20)
