The basic trigonometric functions are cosine and sine. They are called
``trigonometric'' because they relate measures of angles to
measurements of triangles. Given a right triangle

Note, the values of sine and cosine do not depend on the scale of the
triangle. Being very explicit, if we scale a triangle by a scale
factor {{MATH_14}},
