This week we talked about triangles and SOHCAHTOA from geometry but we went more in depth with it I guess. To use SOHCAHTOA the triangle has to be a right triangle. SOHCAHTOA is just a crutch to help people remember the functions to use to solve for the triangle. SOH stands for Sine=opposite/hypotenuse. CAH is Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse and TAN is short for Tangent=opposite/adjacent. Hypotenuse is the leg opposite the right angle. Adjacent is going to be the measurement of the leg stemming from the angle you are using, and Opposite is just the measure opposite of the angle you are using. You just plug in the ones you have and solve for the triangle. So all you do is look at the triangle and choose the function that you need and then you're good to go. Easy right?
