What is the sin cos tan trick?
Sine is opposite side of angle over hypotenuse. Cosine is adjacent side of angle over hypotenuse. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side.
Which correctly describes the tangent function?
opposite/adjacent :) apex
What are the trigonometric functions?
sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent.
Which trigonometric function is positive in the third quadrant?
The tangent and cotangent functions.
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 :)
The trigonometric ratio that compares the opposite side length to the adjacent side length is what?
tangent
What does socotoa mean?
"SOHCAHTOA" is a mnemonic device used to remember the trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent in right-angled triangles. The acronym stands for Sine=Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cosine=Adjacent/Hypotenuse, and Tangent=Opposite/Adjacent.
What are the basic trigonometric ratios?
Sine(Sin) Cosine(Cos) Tangent(Tan) ---- -Sin of angle A=opposite leg of angle A / hypotenuse -Cos of angle A= Adjacent leg of angle A / Hypotenuse -Tan of angle A= opposite leg of angle A / Adjacent lef of angle A
What are some good examples of math acronyms?
If you study trigonometry you learn the definitions of the trigonometric functions by means of the acronym SOH CAH TOA which stands for sine: opposite over hypotenuse; cosine: adjacent over hypotenuse; tangent: opposite over adjacent. This is a very useful acronym.
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the what?
in a right trianlge the tangent is the ratio of Opposite/Adjacentcosine is Adjacent/Hypotenusesine is Opposite/Hypotenuse
What is sahcahtoa?
Sohcahtoa is an abbreviation (SOH) sine opposite hypotenuse (CAH) cosine adjacent hypotenuse (TOA) tangent opposite adjacent.
What is the formula for sine function?
In a right triangle, its Opposite/Hypotenuse I always use: Soh (sin, opposite/hypotenuse) Cah (cosine, adjacent/hypotenuse) Toa (tangent, opposite/adjacent) Hope this helped! :)
What is the equation for finding the sine and cosine and tangent of a triangle?
For finding the angles in a right angled triangle the ratios are: sine = opposite divided by the hypotenuse cosine = adjacent divided by the hypotenuse tangent = opposite divided by the adjacent
What are trigometric ratios?
Trigonometric ratios are ratios of the sides of a right triangle, involving the lengths of the sides and the angles of the triangle. The main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent, which are abbreviated as sin, cos, and tan respectively. These ratios are used in trigonometry to relate the angle of a right triangle to its side lengths.
Values of the 6 trigonometric functions?
Sine Theta (sin θ) = opposite/hypotenuse = a/c Cosine Theta (cos θ) = adjacent/hypotenuse = b/c Tangent Theta (tan θ) = opposite/adjacent = a/b Cotangent Theta (cot θ) = adjacent/opposite = b/a Secant Theta (sec θ) = hypotenuse/adjacent = c/b Cosecant Theta (csc θ) = hypotenuse/opposite = c/a You may need to look on the link below for some sample calculations
How do you know which trigonometric ratio to use when finding the measure of an angle?
Apply the 'aide memoire'. Soh , Cah, Toa. To find the Sine you apply Soh ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the hypotenuse. Cosine(Cos) you apply Cah ; so you need to known the lengths of the adjacent and the hypotenuse. Tangent(Tan) you apply Toa ; so you need to known the lengths of the opposite and the adjacent .
What is one of the trigonmetric functions?
The three basic trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan) They are found by comparing two of the three sides of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the the longest side of the right triangle, and is opposite the right angle. The other two sides are the legs. One leg is adjacent to an angle, and the other is opposite the angle. The three ratios are sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse tan(x) = opposite/adjacent =================
