In chapter 11 angles were described in terms of degrees and in chapter 12 circular measure was introduced. There is a third method which describes an acute angle by the ratios of the sides of a right-angled triangle containing the angle. They are the trigonometrical ratios and at first we shall consider only three of them, the sine the cosine and the tangent of an angle.
