    Sin(35) = opp/hyp

    Cos(35) = adj/hyp 

    Tan(35) = opp/adj 

    However, when we use angle '55' things 'turn around'. 

    Sin(55) = adj/hyp

    Cos(55) = opp/hyp

    Tan(55) = adj/opp

    NB Inspect your diagram and carefully notice how the sides change. ,

    However, to answer your question. you will nee and calculator or a book of tables. 

    From the Calculator 

    Sin(35) = 0.57357...

    Cos(35) = 0.89151

    Tan(35) =0.70020

    Sin(55) = 0.81915

    Cos(55) = 0.57357

    Tan(55 = 1,42814

    NB Notice how the decimal values change between Sine & Cosine

  • Looks like they gave you all 3 angles

    sin(t) = opp / hyp

    cos(t) = adj / hyp

    tan(t) = opp / adj
