What is soh cah toa in trigonometry?

SoH: used for finding the sine of a triangle in trigonometry: Opposite/HypotenuseCaH: used for finding the cosine of a triangle in trigonometry: Adjacent/HypotenuseToA: used for finding the tangent of a triangle in trigonometry: Opposite/Adjacent


How do you solve right triangles in Trigonometry?

you use the the 3 trigonometry functions , sin=opposite divided by hypotenuse cos=adjacent divided by hypotenuse tan=opposite divided by adjacent these are used to work out angles and side lengths in right angle triangles only!!! sine,cosine,tangent :)


What does tangent mean in math?

Tangent, in geometry, is used to describe when figures have only one point in common. In Trig. tangent is applied to triangles.


How do you use trigonometry?

Various trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine, show the relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the angles between those sides. So trigonometry is used to calculate angles, lengths and distances using right triangles. Right triangles are those that have one angle of exactly 90 degrees. Example: You want to find the height of a tree. Measure off a fixed distance from the tree and measure the angle between the ground and the line-of-sight to the top of the tree. The height of the tree = the distance to the tree times the tangent of the angle between the tree and the ground, ie tan(x).


What does sine theta mean?

Theta is just a Greek letter used to denote measurement of angle. Sine is a trigonometric function, i.e., the ratio of the side opposite to the angle theta to the hypotenuse of the triangle. So Sine theta means the value of sine function for angle theta, where theta is any angle.
