Are there any sayings you can use to remember trigonometric ratios?

Question

The ratios are:
Sin = Opposite /Hypotenuse,
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent,
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse.



I mean, something like Cooper And Henry for Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse.

I want something better than that, though...

Answer 1

They taught us SOHCAHTOA back in OL trig, but I never really felt the need for it, I mean just picture a right angled triangle and the longest side is the hypotenuse,h. Take an angle and the side opposite it is h.sin x , where x is the angle. The other side is h.cos x

Answer 2

The ratios are:
Sin = Opposite /Hypotenuse,
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent,
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse.

Take the first letter of each word and don't forget your tetha sign.

Answer 3

If u replace Opposite by Perpendicular
&Adjacent by Base

Answer 4

"SOH CAH TOA"

Say it out loud like some kind of tribal chant.

SOH: Sin = Opposite /Hypotenuse
CAH: Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
TOA: Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Answer 5

One of my teachers told us:

Sir Oliver Had Collected A Half Ton Of Apples

Sir Oliver Had ===> Sin=Opp/Hyp
Collected A Half ===> Cos = Adj/Hyp
Ton Of Apples ===> Tan = Opp/Adj

Even though I pretty much just remember the formulas, I will never forget that silly sentence.

Answer 6

sin 57 degrees = .8386 cos 9 degrees = .9876 tan 88 degrees = 28.6362

Answer 7

SOH CAH TOA

is how every1 remembers it and thus no need for any words

Answer 8

I have always been taught SOH-CAH-TOA. Not that neat, but when you repeat it enough, it just becomes second nature.

Answer 9

SOH CAH TOA

I say it like this--"so-cah-toe-ah"

Answer 10

Just the old classic SOHCAHTOA
