Finding Missing Sides in Right-Angle Triangles with SOHCAHTOA

This video tutorial covers the use of SOHCAHTOA to find missing lengths in right-angled triangles. It provides a detailed example with a twist in rearranging the formula to solve for the unknown side. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of finding missing angles using two sides in the next video.

What is the unique aspect of the problem discussed in the video?

• Using SOHCAHTOA for the first time

• Finding the hypotenuse with given angles

• A different approach to rearranging the equation

• Calculating the angle instead of the side

Which side is labeled as adjacent in the example?

• The side opposite to the 40° angle

• The longest side of the triangle

• The side next to the 40° angle

• The side across from the right angle

What trigonometric ratio is used in the example?

• Tangent

• Cosine

• Sine

• Secant

How do you rearrange the equation to solve for x?

• Divide both sides by x

• Multiply both sides by x and then divide by cos 40

• Multiply both sides by cos 40

• Divide both sides by 500

What is the final step to find the value of x?

• Multiply 500 by cos 40

• Add cos 40 to 500

• Subtract cos 40 from 500

• Divide 500 by cos 40

What is the correct value of x obtained in the example?

• 500

• 653

• 40

• 652.5

What is essential for finding a missing side in a triangle?

• Knowing all the angles

• Having one side and one angle

• Using only the sine ratio

• Calculating the area first

What will be discussed in the next video?

• Using SOHCAHTOA for area calculation

• Finding a missing angle with two sides

• Finding a missing side with two angles

• The history of trigonometry

What is the twist mentioned for the next video?

• A slight modification in the approach
