Do you know your trig functions? Like what sin, cos, tan are in regards to a triangle?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

nope not really

OpenStudy (psymon):

Ah. Alright, hang on then :P Keep in mind as I write these out, they are all in reference to the angle you are using.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

that helps alot :DD

OpenStudy (psymon):

\[\sin = \frac{ opposite side }{ hypotenuse }\] \[\cos = \frac{ adjacent side }{ hypotenuse }\] \[\tan = \frac{ opposite side }{ adjacent side }\] People are ususally taught Soh Cah Toa as a way to remember which sides the trig functions refer to. Now again, these are in reference to your angle, so I'll draw that real quick.
