A way to remember the definitions of the three most common trigonometry functions: sin, cos and tan. Used as a memory aid for the definitions of the three common trigonometry functions sine, cosine and tangent.
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
It is a trigonometric equation for a right triangle, to find a non-right-angle angle. Using SOHCAHTOA, it is the opposite side divided by the adjacent angle

Well, honey, SohCahToa Joe is not a person you'll find in the phonebook. SohCahToa is actually a mnemonic device used in trigonometry to remember the trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent. Joe must've been out to lunch when they came up with that one.
sohcahtoa SOH|CAH|TOA S= O opposite over hypotenuse _ H C=A adjacent over hypotenuse _ H T=O opposite over adjacent _ A
Use SOHCAHTOA, then cross multiply and divide.

Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
It means for any right angle triangle:- sine = opposte/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse tangent = opposite/adjacent
It is a trigonometric equation for a right triangle, to find a non-right-angle angle. Using SOHCAHTOA, it is the opposite side divided by the adjacent angle
If you have the length of two of the sides and one other angle you can use the law of sines.
