Is trig hard

Answer 1

Trigonometry is easier than you think. You just have to remember the rules in this order: TOA-CAH-SOH

TOA:

tan = Opposite / Adjacent

CAH:

cos = Adjacent / Hypothenuse

SOH:

sin = Opposite / Hypothenuse

And you have to remember what the Opposite, Adjacent and Hypothenuse of a triangle relative to the given angles are. Keep sounding the rule in your head and you'll beat trig for sure. (Also a tip, 70% of the time in math questions it's the tangent that matters, and about 20% of the time it's Sine. If you really can't figure it out think of it like this, but definitely don't use this as your first method.)

Answer 2

Once you REALLY understand the basic definitions and relationships in Trig (Trigonometry) it is not hard. BUT, the most critical time when taking Trig, in my opinion, is right at the beginning, when the teacher is setting up the "ground rules" for the way things are hung together. If you really dig in at the beginning, you can beat it.

Some students initially have problems trying to visualize the problems, but when you learn to break things down in smaller, simpler chunks you've got it beat.
