Side Lengths from Variables (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on trigonometric relationships involving sides of a right triangle and their associations with the sine and tangent functions. Problems require identifying the correct trigonometric expressions for given sides (opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse) in relation to the sine or tangent of an angle. The task involves determining how sides of a triangle are defined in terms of these trigonometric ratios, ensuring a practical understanding of fundamental trigonometry concepts.
