Mnemonics

A common use of mnemonics is to remember facts and relationships in trigonometry. For example, the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios in a right triangle can be remembered by representing them as strings of letters. For instance, a mnemonic for English speakers is SOH-CAH-TOA:Sine = Opposite ÷ HypotenuseCosine = Adjacent ÷ HypotenuseTangent = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

One way to remember the letters is to sound them out phonetically (i.e. "SOH-CAH-TOA", which is pronounced 'so-kə-tow'-uh').Another method is to expand the letters into a sentence, such as "Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippy Trippin' On Acid". or "Some Old Houses, Can't Always Hide, Their Old Age"
