Trigonometric Functions and Ratios

The video tutorial explains how to find the six trigonometric function values for an angle in a right triangle. It begins by introducing the concept using a 3-4-5 triangle and explains the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent using the acronym SOHCAHTOA. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate these functions for the given triangle, followed by an explanation of the reciprocal functions: cosecant, secant, and cotangent.

What is the acronym used to remember the basic trigonometric functions?

• SOHCAHTOA

• Pythagorean

• SINECOSINE

• TRIGON
