Based on the diagram, match the trigonometric ratios with the corresponding ratios of the sides of the triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not have a single clue on how to do this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jesusisblack50 Can you help with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not good with this stuff man, I dont think I could be of any help. I am checking it out though and seeing if I can help you with anything,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. It's trigonometry, by the way, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes... i dont know... either...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah damn... :(

OpenStudy (dan815):

you need to memorize SOH CAH TOA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't even know what that is.

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay are u sure you are ready for this

OpenStudy (dan815):

they are pretty special

OpenStudy (dan815):

Sin Cos Tan are these special functions that give you a relationship between angles and the ratio of sides in a triable

OpenStudy (dan815):

TRIangle

OpenStudy (dan815):

The sin of an angle if the angle is part of a right angle triangle then the Sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuese

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My face is blank with a lack of understanding.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a lot to try and understand, lmao

OpenStudy (dan815):

dont get confused with the notation Sin(angle) means that there is some special function that is operating on this angle that results in the the ratio which is oppositesidelength/hypotenuesesidelength

OpenStudy (dan815):

i dont know just read that over and over did that makes sense, ask me questions on what u dont get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then what does the A and B and C stuff have to do with it?

OpenStudy (dan815):

Big LETTER A B C are the angles

OpenStudy (dan815):

small letter a b c are the side lengths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am incredibly conflicted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I have these, and somehow they plug into those things but???

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay okay so lets go over this

OpenStudy (dan815):

now listen here

OpenStudy (dan815):

Sin cos and tan are functions, how these functions work and what goes into them you dont know yet, are u familiar with this kind of notation?

OpenStudy (dan815):

like f(x) or g(x) or f(x,y)

OpenStudy (dan815):

means function of x, or another func of x or another functio nof x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh, alright.. i kinda sorta get that..

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay now sin and cos and tan are the same thing, tinstead of f they are called sin cos and tan

OpenStudy (dan815):

its saying some special function of the angle = oppositeside/hypotenues

OpenStudy (dan815):

another special function of the angle = adjscent side/ hypoteneuses

OpenStudy (dan815):

another special function of the angle = oppositeside/adj side

OpenStudy (dan815):

what i told you is Sin,cos and tan in order
