In this video, Lucy revisits trigonometry, focusing on the sine, cosine, and tangent functions to solve right-angle triangle problems. The video explains the SOHCAHTOA mnemonic to remember the relationships between angles and sides. Two example problems are solved: one using sine to find a missing side when given an angle and hypotenuse, and another using tangent to find a missing side when given an angle and adjacent side. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next lesson.
