Remember the chant "soh cah toa"
sine = opposite ÷ hypotheneus
cosine = adjacent ÷ hypotheneus
tangent = opposite ÷ adjacent
remember that hypotheneus is the slanty side, opposite and adjacent side is in COMPARISON with the angle you want to find.
In this case, tan B would be 15/8
sinB = 15/17
cosB = 8/17
