Adjacent : Adjacent means next to each other.

Angle : If two line segments (or rays) both start at a common point the opening between the two line segments is called an angle. The common point is called vertex of the angle. The size of an angle is measured in degrees.

Cos : The cosine of an angle $0\leq\alpha\leq 180^{\circ}$ or $\cos \alpha$ is defined by finding a right triangle with angle $\alpha$ and dividing the length of the leg adjacent to $\alpha$ by the length of the hypotenuse. For arbitrary angles the cosine function can be extended in a periodic way by inscribing the right triangle in a circle. The cosine can be used to calculate unknown side lengths in a triangle via the cosine law and in the case of right triangles via its definition. The Pythagorean theorem implies that $\cos^2 \alpha+\sin^2 \alpha=1.$

Hypotenuse : The hypotenuse in a right triangle is the side of the right triangle that does not have any endpoints at the corner with the right angle.
