To help with your problem H stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse. TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.

my mistake was a simple one Yours was one we learnt in year 2

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's not like I don't know the difference, I made a simple mistake JUST LIKE YOU. If you really would like to get picky with grammar, then "my" should be capitalized, there should be a period after "one" and "2" should be spelled out and a period should finish the sentence. Pretty sure I learned how to use periods in at least grade one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Bloody hell http://www.andreasschwartz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/arguingontheinternet.jpg why does 2 have to be spelled out?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Because you spelt out one. In English, there is supposed to be balance, it's supposed to be one or the other. Look, this is getting stupid and I'm done if you are. Agreed?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah I'm just bored. I'm pretty sure you don't say "My mistake was a simple 1". Yeah enough now (Find a mistake in that :P).

What's SOCAHTOA? (7th grader, didn't learn this yet xD)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

sin of an angle = opposite side/hypothenuse, cos of an angle = adjacent side/hypothenuse, tan of an angle = opposite/adjacent

@734643 (ryry67dude): We have this in my class but in my head I use SOHCAHTOA

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm taking precal right now.. and i think he's talking about the unit circle, with the x as the line on the x-axis, the y as the line on the y-axis, and r being the radius.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yeah, pre-calc has nothing to do with trigonometry. even in regular calculus, you don't really use this unless you're doing stuff with integrals or related rates or something.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

okay i'm in pre cal and i use SOH CAH TOA at least once a chapter.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i use that and SOHCAHTOA. it just depends what problem it is. both are helpful.

My physics teacher will take off 10% of your grade if you write said word on your paper. I voted it down because then there would be proof of me using it. Oh, and it's kind of like counting on your fingers, it's okay when you first learn addition/trig, but after a while just memorize it so you don't look like an idiot.

OH, Geometry. SOH - Sin opposite over hypotenuse CAH - Cos adjacent over hypotenuse TOA - Tan opposite over adjacent I'm proud to remember this.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This is how my geometry teacher taught it to us: Once their was an Indian who had to ride on horseback through the forest (I forgot what the reason was, but it's not important.) Unfortunately, he rode too close a tree and hurt his foot, so he had to turn around and go back. When he got back to his tribe, he went to the medicine man to see if he could heal his foot. The medicine man gave him this advice: SOHCAHTOA (Get it? Soak-a-toa-a?) It was very politically incorrect, but at least I remembered it...
