Read the wording in the post, and add the missing info marked with ????? below. "Which trigonometric ratio is equal to ????? in the diagram?"

I know nothing about trig

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I can help you, but your problem is incomplete. There is something missing in the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its directly off of the screen I copied it

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Maybe there is a symbol on the screen that can't be simply copied and pasted. Read the question in the post and compare it to the question you have on your screen. There is something missing.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do you know SOHCAHTOA?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not at all

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The main three trig ratios are since, cosine, and tangent. SOHCAHTOA helps you remember what the ratios are using initials: SOH: \(\sin A = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} \) CAH: \(\cos A = \dfrac{adj}{hyp} \) TOA: \(\tan A = \dfrac{opp}{adj} \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do those ratios look familiar?
