Trigonometry. Sin, Cos and Tan A-Level Maths, Quadrants and the "cast" Rule. On a set of axes, angles are measured anti-clockwise from the positive x-axis. So 30° would be drawn as follows: The angles which lie between 0° and 90° are said to lie in the first quadrant.

Sine, Cosine and Tangent are all based on a Right-Angled Triangle. They are very similar functions so we will look at the Sine Function and then Inverse Sine to learn what it is all about. Sine Function. The Sine of angle θ is: length of the side Opposite. divided by the length of the Hypotenuse. Or more simply: sin ( θ) = Opposite / HypotenusebNea8l.
