What does COSINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A trigonometric function that gives the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
The cosine of an angle is found by dividing the length of the adjacent side by the length of the hypotenuse, and the same value can be read directly from the horizontal coordinate of a point on the unit circle. Together with sine and tangent, cosine forms the core of trigonometry, and it appears constantly in physics and engineering wherever periodic motion, waves or rotation are described. Calculators and programming languages compute cosine directly, usually written as cos.
