So far my holidays have been pretty decent. We didnt win our soccer game Friday but we didnt loose either and that was probably the worst thing that happened as of right now. We have to do three blogs, it does not matter when they are done as long as they are done over the holidays, and here goes the first one of the holidays....
SOHCAHTOA:
sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse
cos theta=adjacent/hypotenuse
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
SOHCAHTOA is used when either you have two sides of a right triangle and you need to find an angle or you have an angle and one side. Here's an example:
A right triangle has 3 angles: 90°, 30°, and 60°. The hypotenuse is x cm. The side opposite the 60° angle is 8 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
You would use the sin formula and the equation would be sin(60)=8/x.
Then you would get .8660=8/x
You divide 8 by .8660 and get 9.2380
So the hypotenuse of the triangle would be 9.2380 cm.
