The basic trigonometric functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). They relate to a right triangle as follows: sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, and tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
