    1) The six trigonometric ratios - sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent - are defined using the sides of a right triangle. 2) SOH CAH TOA is a mnemonic that relates the trig functions to the sides of a right triangle: sine is opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, and tangent is opposite over adjacent. 3) Examples are given that use the trig functions to solve for missing sides in various right triangles based on information given about an acute angle and one side.

    Lesson 1: The Six Trigonometric Ratios: sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent

    In a right triangle, the six trigonometric ratios can be defined. Consider the right triangle ABC below. In
    this triangle B represent the 𝜽. Then the leg denoted by a is the side adjacent to 𝜽, and the leg
    denoted by b is the side opposite to 𝜽.

    SOH – CAH – TOA is a mnemonic used for remembering the equations.

    a. Solve for s in figure 1. b. Solve for p in figure 1.
    Solution: P is an acute angle, t is the Solution: P is an acute angle, t is the hypotenuse,
    hypotenuse, s is the side adjacent to and p is the opposite side of P.
