Advice

Each angle on a triangle is connected to two sides and is facing another.

The longest side of the triangle is always the hypotenuse.

The other side that makes the angle is called the adjacent.

The final side not connected in any way to the angle is called the opposite.

For example, using the image below, you can see which side is denoted by each term from the highlighted angle's perspective.

One of the ways you can approach this style of question is by using SOHCAHTOA.

This can be written more visually as

$\text{S}^\text{O}_\text{H}\space\text{C}^\text{A}_\text{H}\space\text{T}^\text{O}_\text{A}$

It represents each trigonometric function and what they are equivalent to.

Written out in full, we would have:

SIN: opposite / hypotenuse

COS: adjacent / hypotenuse

TAN: opposite / adjacent

For example, $\sin$ is represented by the first S.

If we were given an angle, say of $30^\circ$ ,

$\sin(30^\circ)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

Evaluating $\sin(30^\circ)=\frac{1}{2}$ , we now know that $\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{1}{2}$

If we were given one of these sides, we would then be able to work out the other one by multiplying accordingly.

Similarly if we were given two sides, and told to work out a specific angle, we could.

Referring to the image above, suppose we want to find the highlighted angle and we are given that the hypotenuse is equal to $5$ units, and the adjacent is $4$ units.

We would determine from SOHCAHTOA that we need to use cos since we have the values for A and H.

So, $\cos(x)=\frac{4}{5}$

Hence, $x=\cos^{-1}(\frac{4}{5})=36.87^\circ$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
