So in trigonometry, there's this thing about 'sine' and 'sin'. What's the difference between 'sin' and 'sine'? Also, how do you pronounce 'sin'?

Sin is just the short form of sine. So you pronounce both as sine

A authentic triangle (which ability the biggest attitude is ninety deg) with between the angles as 40 5 deg. signifies that the different attitude is likewise 40 5 deg (ninety + 40 5 + 40 5 = one hundred eighty). on condition that there are 2 equivalent angles, the perimeters opposite those angles are also equivalent in length. which ability you're coping with an isosceles triangle. Draw an isosceles authentic triangle (a 40 5-40 5-ninety triangle) and label the hypotenuse with a length of one million (from a unit circle). Now both legs have a length of x. So, using the Pythagorean theorem, we've: a million² = x² + x² a million = 2x² a million/2 = x² x = ?(a million/2) = a million/?2 Now multiply the num. and denom. by ?2 to make a rational denom. (a million*?2)/(?2*?2) = (?2)/2 = answer

Both spellings rhyme with 'sign'.
'sin' is the abbreviation for 'sine'
'cos' is the abbreviation for 'cosine'
'tan' is the abbreviation for 'tangent'
