Any right triangle sides that may have a, b or h for the hypotenuse
is the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Sine is the hypotenuse of the right triangle,
Opposite/hypotenuse is SOH , Cosine is hypotenuse and adjacent
Adjacent/hypotenuse is CAH, Tangent is opposite and adjacent , opposite/adjacent is TOA

Circles
A circle is a round plane figure which consists of points equidistant from
a fixed point.
A diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the figure
or a sphere.
Radius is a straight line from a center of a circumference of the circle or
sphere.
Secant is a straight line that cuts a hard curve in two or more multiple
parts.
Tangent is a plane or line that touches the curve or surface at the point
A chord of circle is a straight line with endpoints that both lie on the
circle.
