Hi, I need to find the cos, tan, and sin of this triangle.

I am really having problems with these types of questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Of what angle?

OOPS, sorry about that. Here you go:

Find tan G, Find cos F, Find sin G.

tan G = 45/24

cos F = 45/51

sin G = 45/51

Awesome, just what I need perfect hacker. Thank you so much for your help.

Have you ever heard of
Otto Had A Heap Of Apples?
sin(theta) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
cos(theta) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
tan(theta) = Opposite/Adjacent
(Look at the first letters in the phrase with the trig definitions.)

Another one is
SOHCAHTOA
sin(theta) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
etc.
