👉 Learn how to find a missing side length of a right triangle. A right triangle is a triangle that has 90 degrees as one of its angles. The trigonometric identities of right triangles give us the relationship between the angles of a right triangle and the side lengths of the right triangle. These trigonometric identities, commonly called SOHCAHTOA, are: sin x = opposite / hypothenuse; cos x = adjacent / hypothenuse and tan x = opposite / adjacent. These identities enable us to find a missing side length of a right triangle given one of the side lengths and one of the other angles of the right triangle. 👏SUBSCRIBE to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/mrbrianmclogan?sub_confirmation=1 ❤️Support my channel by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQv3dpUXUWvDFQarHrS5P9A/join 🙋‍♂️Have questions?
