Mathematics: Introduction to sine, cosine and tangent

INTRODUCTION TO SINE, COSINE AND TANGENT

In this module, you can study how to calculate sine, cosine and tangent for the angles of a right triangle, and how to use "SOH CAH TOA" to remember the formulae for calculating sine, cosine and tangent.

 

Did you know?

"Adjacent" and "Opposite" sides can change, depending on which angle you start from.

"Cos(x)" means "the cosine of x degrees"; it does NOT mean multiply the cosine by x.
