Someone already suggested it, but here's a good online lesson on Basic Trigonometry.
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/tr...ometry/basic_trig_ratios/v/basic-trigonometry
Everything is explained at the beginners level like it should at least have been taught in every High School math class.
It always makes it easier for one to draw his triangle first in order to have a better visual idea of the relevant dimensions involved in relation to his actual problem at hand.
You'd still get lost in solving a machining problem like a taper degree determination if you couldn't identify which of the triangle sides refer to which in the actual part being machined.
Note: The determination of the correct ratios between triangle sides that would correspond to a certain value in degrees requires a Trigonometry table or a Scientific Calculator.
The actual calculation involved is beyond the basics of trigonometry.
