Question

Remember SOH-CAH-TOA? Which trig function is equal to adjacent and hypotenuse?

a) Sine
b) Cosine
c) Tangent
d) Cotangent

Answer 1

The trigonometric function that is equal to the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle is the cosine function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric function that is equal to the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle is cosine (option b).

In the context of trigonometry, the SOH-CAH-TOA acronym represents the three basic trigonometric ratios:

• Sine (SOH) - opposite/hypotenuse
• Cosine (CAH) - adjacent/hypotenuse
• Tangent (TOA) - opposite/adjacent

Since the question asks for adjacent and hypotenuse, the correct answer is cosine.
