Trigonometric Functions

Six Trig Functions

Learn about labeling the sides of a right triangle and setting up trig ratios.

Summary

• SOH: stands for  $\sin\theta=\frac{opp}{hyp}$  

• CAH: stands for  $\cos\theta=\frac{adj}{hyp}$  

• TOA: stands for  $\tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}$  

• csc is the flip of sin:  $\csc\theta=\frac{hyp}{opp}$  

• sec is the flip of cos:  $\sec\theta=\frac{hyp}{adj}$  

• cot is the flip of tan:  $\cot\theta=\frac{adj}{opp}$
