What is socahtoa?
SOH CAH TOA is a way of remembering what the functions sin, cos, & tan mean in a right angle triangle. With a triangle with one of the acute angles labelled (theta) the longest side H (Hypotenuse), the side opposite the labelled angle O, and the short side closest to the angle A (Adjacent) SOH ->SIN(Theta)=0/H CAH ->COS(Theta)=A/H TOA ->TAN(Theta)=O/A
Is trig hard?
Once you REALLY understand the basic definitions and relationships in Trig (Trigonometry) it is not hard. BUT, the most critical time when taking Trig, in my opinion, is right at the beginning, when the teacher is setting up the "ground rules" for the way things are hung together. If you really dig in at the beginning, you can beat it. Some students initially have problems trying to visualize the problems, but when you learn to break things down in smaller, simpler chunks you've got it beat. Good Luck & Pay Attention & ASK QUESTIONS!
How do you find the angle measurements of a triangle if you have all the side lengths- which SOH CAH TOA do i use?
with all the sides, you could use any, use SOH :( sin of angle = opposite / hypotonuse)assuming its a right angle triangle, then select either of the (non right angle) angles, divide the length of the side opposite this angle by the length of the hypotonuse ( longest side, opposite the right angle), then find the inverse SIN of this number on your calculator, this is the angle. Since total internal angles always = 180 degrees, and right angle = 90 degrees then final angle is calculated angle subtracted from 90 degrees.

Formulae of trigonometry?
For a right angle triangle the formulae are:- Sine = opposite/hypotenuse Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse Tangent = opposite/adjacent An easy way to remember them is: SOH-CAH-TOA
How do you find the sin?
Two options: -Option#1 (only if the measure of the angle is given): Use the calculator. -Option#2 (only if the length of the sides are given): Use SOH-CAH-TOA. (If you are not familiar with SOH-CAH-TOA, search it up.)

What are the basic trigonometry functions?
The 3 most common trigonometry functions are as follows:Sine (opposite/ hypotenuse)Cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse)Tangent (opposite/adjacent)An easier way to remember these is SOH-CAH-TOA which, when pronounced out-loud, sounds kind of like "soak a toe".
What is sahcahtoa?
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
What are some good examples of math acronyms?
If you study trigonometry you learn the definitions of the trigonometric functions by means of the acronym SOH CAH TOA which stands for sine: opposite over hypotenuse; cosine: adjacent over hypotenuse; tangent: opposite over adjacent. This is a very useful acronym.
What is the rule of trigonometry?
Just remember SOHCAHTOA, SOH is using the sine, only use this when you have the Hypotenuse and the Opposite. Sin(a)= O/H CAH is using the cosine, only use this when you have the Hypotenuse and Adjasent. Cos(a)=A/H TOA is using the tangent, only use this when you have the Opposite and Adjasent. Tan(a)=O/A

How do you calculate the length of the sides of a right angle triangle when angles are known?
You need to know at least one side......after that you can use the angles to apply the equations, SOH CAH TOA.
