Question

Some people use SOH - CAH - TOA to remember the trigonometric ratios for sine, cosine, and tangent. Why do you think that word might help?

Answer 1

hope this is helpful

Explanation:

SOH-CAH-TOA is really helpful in remembering what each of the ratios should look like.

For sine, SOH means --> Sine- Opposite- Hypotenuse

This helps to remember that when using sine, you should use the Opposite length over the Hypotenuse in your ratio.

For cosine, CAH means --> Cosine- Adjacent- Hypotenuse

Your ratio should have the Adjacent length over the Hypotenuse

For tan, TOA means --> Tangent- Opposite- Adjacent

Your ratio should have the Opposite length over the Adjacent length
