SOHCAHTOA Guide:

Note:

 Trigonometry is Easy. Just master the SOHCAHTOA, and make sure to master also the parts of
triangle such Hypotenuse, Opposite, and Adjacent.
 Make sure to familiarize SOHCAHTOA
 Familiarize the parts (Hypotenuse, Opposite, Adjacent) of Right Triangle as well.
o Hypotenuse – Longest side of the right triangle.
o Opposite – the line in front of the angle.
o Adjacent – Line inclined/connected in the Hypotenuse that belongs as another half/part
of an angle.
 See the SOHCAHTOA guide above, a is the Opposite, b is the adjacent, and c is
the Hypotenuse. Observe the positionings of the parts as defined above.
 Make sure to have your Scientific calculator with you.
 Pythagorean Theory can be solve faster using a Scientific Calculator. (ex: Just type “8.5 sin
(30)” in your calculator, then the answer will be made available.
o Note: That if the answer is in radical or fraction form, you can convert it to decimal by
clicking the [S<->D] button.
