Exploring Trigonometric Ratios

This video introduces trigonometry ratios, focusing on the vocabulary of adjacent, opposite, and hypotenuse. It explains how to identify these sides in a right triangle and introduces the trig ratios sine, cosine, and tangent using the acronym SOHCAHTOA. The video includes examples of calculating these ratios with given angles and sides, emphasizing the importance of correctly identifying triangle sides relative to the central angle.

What does the 'A' in 'Adjacent' stand for?

• Adjacent

• Across

• Angle

• Area
