Semester Review

The topic that we learned this semester that I enjoyed the most was SOHCAHTOA.
It is a topic that I really Understand. SOHCAHTOA, or some old hippie came a hoppin through our apartment, helps you in finding missing sides. Like if you have the hypotneous and the adjecent then you can use CAH, or Cos and the angle to help you find the third side. A real life application with this problem would be like if I were flying a kite that went up in the air 350 feet and the angle was 60 percent and I wanted to figure out how far I would have to walk to to walk straight under it then you can use one of the equations to find out the answer.

Angle of 60 degrees, not percent. Good!
