It appears that you have not adequately learned the basics of trigonometry. You need to review those principles until they seem obvious. Trigonometry is based on a picture of a circle with the radius making an angle with the x axis. You carry this picture in your head, not your calculator. Trig is mostly imagination and the rest memorization.
Remember Chief SohCahToa
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent
Also memorize:
Sec = 1/Cos
Csc = 1/Sin
Cot = 1/Tan
Here is the general analysis of the triangle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle
