Sine, Cosine and Tangent. And Sine, Cosine and Tangent are the three main functions in trigonometry. They are often shortened to sin, cos and tan. The calculation is simply one side of a right angled triangle divided by another side ... we just have to know which sides, and that is where "sohcahtoa" helps. :)
We can remember sine, cosine and tangent by knowing the acronym
SOHCAHTOA.
SOH = sine is opposite over hypotenuse
CAH = cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse
TOA = tangent is opposite over adjacent
You need to also know the properties of a right triangle.
Long side = hypotenuse
There are two legs:
1. Opposite side
2. Adjacent side
