When working with right triangles, keep in mind that the same rules apply regardless of the orientation of the triangle. In fact, we can evaluate the six trigonometric functions of either of the two acute angles in the triangle in
[link] . The side opposite one acute angle is the side adjacent to the other acute angle, and vice versa.
Many problems ask for all six trigonometric functions for a given angle in a triangle. A possible strategy to use is to find the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angles first. Then, find the other trigonometric functions easily using the reciprocals.
Given the side lengths of a right triangle, evaluate the six trigonometric functions of one of the acute angles.
If needed, draw the right triangle and label the angle provided.
Identify the angle, the adjacent side, the side opposite the angle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Find the required function:
sine as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse
cosine as the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse
tangent as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side
secant as the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side
cosecant as the ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite side
cotangent as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side

Finding trigonometric functions of special angles using side lengths
It is helpful to evaluate the trigonometric functions as they relate to the special angles—multiples of
and
Remember, however, that when dealing with right triangles, we are limited to angles between
Suppose we have a
triangle, which can also be described as a
triangle. The sides have lengths in the relation
The sides of a

These relations are shown in

We can then use the ratios of the side lengths to evaluate trigonometric functions of special angles.
Given trigonometric functions of a special angle, evaluate using side lengths.
Use the side lengths shown in

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
