SIDES IN REFERENCE TO ANGLE "A."
or "a" over "c." In each ratio the letter in the same position as "a" in
relation to "c" represents the numerator, which can be given a numerical
value.
The letter "c" in relation to the position of "a" represents the
denominator, which can be given a numerical value.
If the letter "a" is
assigned the numerical value of 2 and the letter "c" is assigned the
numerical value of 4, the mathematical expression would be that the number 2
must be divided by the number 4.
Thus, 2/4 = .5.
These ratios are the
trigonometric functions as described below:
