Pythagoras and Right-Triangle Trigonometry

SOH–CAH–TOA connects an angle to opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse side lengths.

Key ideas

  • Pythagoras
  • sine
  • cosine
  • tangent
  • unknown sides and angles

Formula / rule: sinθ=opp/hyp; cosθ=adj/hyp; tanθ=opp/adj.

Worked example: if opp=6 and hyp=10, sinθ=0.6.

Common trap: Opposite and adjacent depend on which acute angle is chosen.

Key words

hypotenuse — side opposite 90°
opposite — side opposite chosen angle
adjacent — non-hypotenuse side next to chosen angle
sine — opp/hyp
tangent — opp/adj
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 30 attempts on the same browser.
