3. What are Trig Functions?
Let’s look at 3 similar triangles
If the angles of one triangle are exactly the
same as the angles of another, those
triangles are similar.

These are 3 similar right triangles;
they each have a 90° angle,
θ equal angles θ, and equal
8 angles β.
7. Ratios are the Same
Did you notice that each of the 3 similar
triangles, even though the triangles were
different sizes, had the exact same ratio
of sides?

30. SOH – CAH - TOA
You can remember the definitions of the 3
trig ratios with a mnemonic
SOH: Sin=Opposite/Hypotenuse
CAH: Cos=Adjacent/Hypotenuse
TOA: Tan=Opposite/Adjacent

Thanks for
Watching.
Any idea why I included
pictures from the Middle East?
