sohcahtoa

A mnemonic device to aid in recalling the relationships of the main trigonometric functions.

<S>ine is <O>pposite the <H>ypotenuse
<C>osine is <A>djacent to the <H>ypotenuse
<T>angent is <O>pposite over <A>djacent.

Sometimes written as "soh cah toa."

When analyzing a right triangle, remember "sohcahtoa."

Some Old Hippie Caught Another Hippie Tripping On Acid.

Mnemonic device for SOHCAHTOA, referring to the trigonometric method of finding the sine, cosine, and tangent of a right triangle.

During Math quiz day, Johnny remembered SOHCAHTOA. The kid next to him actually did it.

Trig mnemonic for:

Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

Problem is, who can remeber how to spell this supposed Indian Princess name? Much better mnemonic is Sally Can Tell (sine/cosine/tangent in the vertical column) Oscar/Has, A/Hard, On/Always (opposite/hypotenuse, adjacent/hypotenuse/, opposite/adjacent, also vertically).

Socohtoa, Socahtohoa, Socotoah, Sohcahtoa, ??? Might as well remember the whole order of functions...
