Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the trigonometric functions and their ratios

The trigonometric functions mentioned are:

  • Tangent
  • Sine
  • Cosine

The ratios provided are:

  • a. \(\frac{adj}{hyp}\)
  • b. \(\frac{opp}{adj}\)
  • c. \(\frac{adj}{opp}\)
  • d. \(\frac{hyp}{opp}\)
  • e. \(\frac{opp}{hyp}\)
  • f. \(\frac{hyp}{adj}\)
Step 2: Match each trigonometric function with its correct ratio
  • Tangent: The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Therefore, Tangent corresponds to \(\frac{opp}{adj}\), which is option b.
  • Sine: The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. Therefore, Sine corresponds to \(\frac{opp}{hyp}\), which is option e.
  • Cosine: The cosine of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. Therefore, Cosine corresponds to \(\frac{adj}{hyp}\), which is option a.

Final Answer

  • Tangent: \(\boxed{b}\)
  • Sine: \(\boxed{e}\)
  • Cosine: \(\boxed{a}\)
