"...Remember your sohcahtoa..."
My what?
Oh, you mean Oscar Had A Headache Over Algebra.
I'd love to find a math cheat sheet poster with comparative mnemonics for the office wall. There are a ton of them. I imagine they vary depending on the pedigree of the teacher.
- KineticLensman 9y agowe were taught... The Cat Sat On An Orange And Howled Horribly
- Zircom 9y agoWe were taught "Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippy Tripping on Acid"
- jessaustin 9y agoThis seems to be the only mnemonic in this thread that matches soh-cah-toa, and it's quite memorable, so kudos to your teacher!
- nineteen999 9y agoThe one we were taught was "Silly old Hitler caused awful headaches to our allies".
- bigger_cheese 9y ago"All Stations To Central" is the mnemonic I still remember as you progress around quadrants of circle: Whenever I pass through central station in Sydney I hear my high school math teacher's voice: Less than PI/2 "All are positive PI/2 through to PI "Sin is positive" PI through to 3/2 PI "Tan is positive" 3/2 PI through to 2PI "Cos is positive"
- cpburns2009 9y agoJust in case you or someone else doesn't know what soh-cah-toa represents: - Soh: sin θ = o/h - Cah: cos θ = a/h - Toa: tan θ = o/a Where "θ" is the angle, "o" is the side opposite of the angle, "a" is the side adjacent to the angle, and "h" is the hypotenuse. Or for the visually inclined: + /| h / | / | o /θ | +----+ a
