sohcahtoa


Let θ be an acute angleMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath and fix a right triangleMathworldPlanetmath having θ as one of its angles. The trigonometric functionsDlmfMathworldPlanetmath sinθ, cosθ, and tanθ can be defined as:

sinθ=oppositehypotenuse
cosθ=adjacenthypotenuse
tanθ=oppositeadjacent

A mnemonic device for remembering the three given above is sohcahtoaMathworldPlanetmath.

The sohcahtoa can be divided up into three portions of three letters each. The first portion, soh, should recall to memory that sinθ is opposite over hypotenuseMathworldPlanetmath; the second portion, cah, should recall to memory that cosθ is adjacentPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath over hypotenuse; and the third portion, toa, should recall to memory that tanθ is opposite over adjacent.

I would like to thank Mrs. Sue Millikin for teaching me trigonometric functions using this mnemonic device.
