ok, recipe for right triangle where hypotenuse is opposite right angle:
sin of angle = opposite side/hypotenuse
cos of angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan of angle = opposite side/adjacent side
sin of angle = opposite side/hypotenuse
cos of angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan of angle = opposite side/adjacent side

you only really need sin, cos, tan for now.
