There are specific ratios within the two key right-angled triangles defined by the unit circle.
The first right-angled triangle has hypotenuse of length one.
The opposite and adjacent sides of this triangle have lengths sin(θ) and cos(θ), respectively.
The second right-angled triangle has an adjacent side length of one.
The opposite side of this triangle has length tan(θ)
