SOHCAHTOA

What is trigonometry?

  • Trigonometry is the mathematics of angles in triangles

  • It looks at the relationship between side lengths and angles of triangles

What are sin, cos and tan?

  • The three trigonometric functions sine, cosine and tangent

    • They come from ratios of side lengths in right-angled triangles

  • You must label the sides of a right-angled triangle in relation to a chosen angle θ

    • The hypotenuse, H, is the longest side in a right-angled triangle

      • It will always be opposite the right angle

    • The side opposite θ will be labelled opposite, O

    • The side next to θ will be labelled adjacent, A

  • The functions sine, cosine and tangent are the ratios of the lengths of these sides as follows

    • sin space theta blank equals space opposite over hypotenuse space equals space straight O over straight H

    • cos space theta blank equals space adjacent over hypotenuse space equals space straight A over straight H

    • tan space theta blank equals space opposite over adjacent space equals space straight O over straight A

Trigonometric formulae for a right-angled triangle

What is SOHCAHTOA?

  • SOHCAHTOA is a mnemonic often used to remember which ratio is which

    • Sin is Opposite over Hypotenuse

    • Cos is Adjacent over Hypotenuse

    • Tan is Opposite over Adjacent

  • H is always the same but O and A change depending on which angle is labelled as θ
