What are Trigonometric Functions?
Trigonometric functions relate the angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its side lengths. The primary functions are Sine ($sin = ext{Opposite}/ ext{Hypotenuse}$), Cosine ($cos = ext{Adjacent}/ ext{Hypotenuse}$), and Tangent ($ an = ext{Opposite}/ ext{Adjacent}$). Beyond right triangles, trigonometry describes periodic continuous waveforms essential to sound design, electrical AC power grids, orbital mechanics, and computer game graphics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SOH CAH TOA?
SOH CAH TOA is a classic mnemonic memory aid: Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse, Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse, and Tan = Opposite / Adjacent.
Why is tan(90°) undefined?
Because at 90°, the adjacent side length of the triangle becomes 0, and $cos(90^circ) = 0$. Since tangent is $sin/cos$, dividing by zero results in a mathematical singularity (vertical asymptote approaching infinity).
Can angles be negative or greater than 360°?
Yes! Trigonometric functions are periodic waves. An angle of 450° has the exact same trigonometric values as 90° ($450^circ - 360^circ = 90^circ$).
