Hope these graphics help you out a bit. For the cross multiplying and dividing, you will always put the Cos/Sin/Tan(Angle) all over 1 because you aren't there to change that value. Putting a number over 1 won't change a value. (Example: 4 = 4/1)
You are just creating a denominator so that you can cross multiply and divide those numbers to get the value of "X"
