How to Find Sine (Example Problem)

The video tutorial introduces the concept of sine in trigonometry, explaining how to use the Sohcahtoa mnemonic to remember trigonometric ratios. It guides viewers on identifying the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse sides of a triangle and demonstrates how to apply the sine function to find side lengths. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationships between angles and sides in right triangles.

What is the expected result when finding the sine of an angle in this context?

• An exact number

• A fraction

• An integer

• A decimal

What does the 'S' in SOHCAHTOA stand for?

• Sine is hypotenuse over opposite

• Sine is opposite over adjacent

• Sine is adjacent over hypotenuse

• Sine is opposite over hypotenuse

Which side of a right triangle is always opposite the right angle?

• Hypotenuse

• Base

• Adjacent

• Opposite

In the context of a right triangle, what is the hypotenuse?

• The side opposite the angle of interest

• The side adjacent to the angle of interest

• The shortest side of the triangle

• The longest side of the triangle

If side A is opposite the angle of interest, what is side B in relation to the angle?

• Base

• Opposite

• Adjacent

• Hypotenuse
