 Weekly Blog 24- SOH CAH TOA This week in geometry we have been learning all about trigonometry! This is a very new concept for all of us, because we have never learned it in the past. However, I really enjoy it! There are 3 functions, cosine, sine, and tangent. These all help to fine a side length: the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse. Sometimes it can even help find an angle. The three functions are each used to find a different side length. Let's take a look: Sine- Used to find the OPPOSITE or HYPOTENUSE. A good way to remember this is the acronym, SOH. Cosine- Used to find the ADJACENT or HYPOTENUSE. A good way to remember this is the acronym, CAH. Tangent- Used to find the OPPOSITE or ADJACENT. A good way to remember this is the acronym, TOA. It can be difficult to remember all this, but if you follow SOH CAH TOA it will make it a lot easier! Hope this helps!
